SCHOOLS & SWIM CLUBS: GROUP ENTRIES
Swimathon are providing the opportunity for your Swim Club or Group to showcase your training and compete together with group entry options, at your own private Swimathon Session, with everyone getting a cap and medal!

How to Enter & Manage your Group
1. To sign up your Club or Group, email info@swimathon.org with your Group name, Group Leader first name and surname and email address as well as the maximum number of places you may need for your group.
2. The Swimathon Group Leader will be sent a unique link to access your dashboard and invite swimmers to sign up for your group or club for FREE!
3. Upon receiving that email, your swimmers will need to follow the link included and complete their registration. This ensures we have the correct health & safety information.
4. Each swimmer will need to register individually to agree to our T&Cs and allow for important communication. This process should only take each swimmer 2-3 minutes.
5. Once all your swimmers have registered, please reach out to the Swimathon team at info@swimathon.org to confirm the date and location of where you will hold your Swimathon session. Along with the address for your swim hat and medal delivery.
5. Once we have receipt of your date and location, we will dispatch your swim hats and medals in time for your Swimathon session so you can hand these out at the end of the event!

Teams can take on the Team 1.5K together, or step it up to our Team 5K Challenge. They also have the flexible option to set their Own Team distance if they wish to tailor their challenge a little more!
