Why Swim for HALO
Imagine if your office, the children’s school and the local hospital were cut off and impossible to reach without crossing a minefield.
That’s the reality for families across the world living surrounded by landmines.
In Zimbabwe, 15 year old Respect has to choose the path his siblings take through the minefield to reach school. Every day. He loves learning and wants to be a doctor when he grows up. By swimming for HALO you can clear the landmines that threaten the lives of children like Respect and create a safe future for generations to come.
Make it the challenge of a lifetime
Organised by London Marathon Events, Swim Serpentine is a must-do event on the open water swimming calendar and also forms part of the London Classics triple sporting challenge. This unique challenge requires participants to run the Virgin Money London Marathon, cycle 100 miles in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 and swim two miles at Swim Serpentine.
