Swim for Charity
Swim for Charity is the annual 6-hour Swim Marathon organized by Avalon and the Studentdesk Red Cross Tilburg. The next edition takes place on the 14th of March 2026 from 20:30 to 2:30!
During the night, participants swim laps with their team to raise money for charity. This years charity goal is the Princess Margriet Fund.
new format!
This year, there will be no more limitations on the amount a team can have. This means that you and a friend can already form a team with just you two. But if you can bring together 50 friends, they could also all be in your team (and we would be very impressed!).
On top of that, a maximum of four people in a team can swim at the same time. In order to streamline the event, we might put some teams together in one lane, but they can still compete as separate teams. This lane division will be communicated beforehand. The team distance (for the competition) will be based on the average distance per participant.
