As of October 2022, Jubilee Pool has become Bristol's first community owned pool!
But current affairs have meant that there is lots of fundraising to be done to keep it open and as part of the management committee looking after this local gem, I'm trying to do my bit by taking part in the second annual 24 hour relay swim - the Jubilee-athon.
I'll be trying to beat my total from last year (103 lengths in an hour) and to add to the challenge will be doing it at 3am in the morning and stewarding for the rest of the event!
If you are able to donate, I'd be so grateful. The pool is such an important asset for the mental and physical health of so many in south Bristol. Thank you!
