Fin-tastic Fundraiser: Help Us Make the Mermaid Swim Challenge a Success!
Why we’re doing this swim challenge
Inspired by the incredible Diane Nyad and her amazing achievements, we’re taking on an epic challenge: swimming 180 km, length by length, splash by splash.
Every single length represents another step toward building a stronger, healthier, and more inclusive community for women in Bramley and across Yorkshire.
With 16 Mermaids, 6,000 lengths, and 2 months to complete our journey, we’re diving in with determination, teamwork, and the belief that together, we can create real change.
Join us, cheer us on, or swim a little of the distance in spirit.
Every splash matters.
Why we need your support

- Inspire women to overcome fears, discover their strength, and find joy in the water.
- Provide extra support for women with additional needs or going through a difficult life circumstance
- Offer reduced cost short courses or one off sessions in other pools in Yorkshire.
