A 24 hour swimming relay over the weekend of 5 and 6 October 2024 to raise money to support Jubilee Pool in Knowle, South Bristol
Can you sponsor us to swim from Bristol to Paris raising funds to fix the pool's roof?
Over 24 hours we'll try and swim continuously - with at least one person in the water at all times - further than the equivalent of swimming from Bristol to the Aquatics Centre in Paris. Along the way we aim to raise £100,000 towards our roof repairs and energy efficiency measures to improve the pool and gym.
Jubilee pool is a much loved community-run pool in South Bristol.
It opened in 1937 and since then has been a hugely important part of people’s lives. It is part of the local history and contributes to South Bristol’s sense of community, serving as a hub where people can come together.
The pool was threatened with closure due to Council budget cuts between 2011 and 2022. Friends of Jubilee Pool is a group of passionate local volunteers who took on the immense challenge of taking the pool into community ownership. The hard work paid off and in October 2022 FoJP took over the running of the pool and became a registered charity.
