Why swim and fundraise for The Royal Parks charity?

Our eight Royal Parks are some of Britain’s most loved green spaces, covering 5,000 acres and enjoyed by more than 77 million people a year - from local Londoners to visitors from around the globe.

The parks provide essential quiet spaces for people to escape the pressures of daily life, improve their physical and mental wellbeing and discover the wonders of the natural world. They've been a part of London's identity for hundreds of years.

Your fundraising will help us to care for the parks, conserving their natural landscapes and keeping them accessible for everyone. Swim with us to keep the Royal Parks beautiful and bursting with life for all to enjoy, for today and future generations!
