Helen and Rosee are swimming to London (well sort of) to help save Jubilee!
For 85 years Jubilee Swimming Pool in Knowle, Bristol has been a vital leisure facility for its local community. Now the swimming pool is under serious threat from closure with Bristol City Council proposing to shut the doors forever in March 2022.
The Friends of Jubilee Pool are a group of volunteers who want to save the pool for future generations by bringing it into community ownership. They have a good chance and the expertise to do this. However, as a voluntary organisation they need funds to be able to cover the costs of the professional help they need on the first steps towards managing the pool.
That's why, on 29th and 30th January 2022, they're hosting a 24 hour fundraising swimming relay at the pool!
Over 24 hours participants will swim continuously - with at least one person in the water at all times - nearly 10,000 lengths or the equivalent of swimming from Bristol to London.
Jubilee pool needs your help to save it! Please sponsor us now if you can. If you can't, please consider sharing this page instead.
Thank you!
Helen and Rosee
