CP Sport is delighted to be one of the supporting charities for this fantastic event. This one-mile swim takes place on the shores of Lake Windermere in the stunning surrounds of the Lake District making this an experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

We have now filled all of our charity swim places. But, if you have your own place in the Great North Swim and want to raise money for CP Sport please let us know and we will send you a fundraising pack.

14 CP Sport swimmers took part in the 2009 event and have raised over £3,500 in sponsorship for the charity to date. Please see their comments below:

"I had an amazing time, and would love to do it again next year."

We have 20 places available for 2010 and would love you to join the CP Sport team. Caroline and Rachael, the CP Sport fundraisers, will be taking on this challenge so we really will be with you every step (or stroke) of the way!

Places for the swim cost £30 and we ask all our swimmers to raise a minimum of £150 in sponsorship from the event.

Places will go quickly due to the growing popularity of this event, so please call us now to register your place on 0115 925 2620 or by email at rnewman@cpsport.org.
