About the Great Lengths Inclusive Swim Challenge

Our Great Lengths challenge bridges the gap between indoor and outdoor swimming and it takes place at Sea Lanes Brighton – the UK’s first national open water swimming centre.

This is an amazing opportunity for anyone with a passion for the sea or swimming to go to great lengths, challenge themselves, and raise money to help young people with learning disabilities – our candidates – to find meaningful employment and reach their full potential.

Details of Great Lengths 2024 coming soon…
