MS Australia 24 Hour MegaSwim

AIS Swimming Pool

Midday Saturday 6 to Midday Sunday 7 May 2017

The Canberra 24 hour MegaSwim is a fun team event raising money for Multiple Sclerosis Australia. This is an annual event for FIT and last year FIT entered a team of 23 keen swimmers who together swam a total of 55km over 24 hours and raised over $5000 for MS.

We’d like to do it all again this year, as it was good fun for a good cause – so let us know if you would like to join in.

Each team must have one swimmer in the water for the entire 24 hour period, but it is up to the team to decide how they want to do it – there is no set formula. You might only swim for 15 mins or you may want to swim for 4 hrs! Come along and challenge yourself – novices and experienced swimmers are all welcome.

To join the team, just follow these steps:

1. Register yourself individually (but as part of the Females in Training team) here, click on ‘join our team’ and pay the $45 Individual entry.
2. Email  and Nerida Clarke, let her know you have registered, and indicate how long you think you would like to swim for and a preferred time over the 24 hour period. We will work out a roster when we know the final numbers of people in the team.
3. If you wish, start fundraising for MS Australia by using your personal pa ge created on the Mega Swim site (ask people to click on ‘donate now’ on the right hand side).

4. Come along to FIT Monday or Wednesday night swim sessions where coaches will have a program to build your endurance over the next two months leading up to the event.
