The Purley Rotary Swimathon, that takes place in the Purley Leisure Centre, is a fantastic way to be active and also help to raise money for charity.  This is the Purley Rotary’s biggest annual fundraising event that brings people from Purley and surrounding communities together for a good cause. Since Purley Rotary first organised this annual charity event, over £520,000 has been raised for local and national charities. Enquires for team entry for 2021 should be made to swimathon@purleyrotary.com. Please see further details on the Purley Rotary website.
