Join us for a 24 hour swim challenge to raise money for St John South Island!

Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre will be fundraising for St John South Island with a 24 hour swim challenge and we are inviting the local community and swimming clubs to help. 

The challenge starts 12pm, Saturday 12 October, finishing 12pm Sunday 13 October at Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre. 

We will attempt to swim 500km (20,000 lengths) of Graham Condon pool and raise $5,000 to support the important work the St Johns team do for the community. To put things in perspective, 500km is slightly more than the drive from Christchurch to Queenstown. 

Community participation is only during standard pool opening hours which are Saturday from 12pm to 8pm, and Sunday from 7am to 12pm. The wonderful CCC team will be doing the overnight shift!

If your swimming club would be keen to participate, two lanes can be reserved for 60-90 minutes per team, these need to be booked in advance. To book please email us.
