Swim the equivalent of the channel or a distance of your choice for type 1 diabetes!

Dust off your google, dig out your swimwear and dive into the deep end to help fund vital type 1 diabetes research.

Swimming is a gentle activity suitable for all. Whether you're a pro or just dipping your feet in, we would love for you to join Team JDRF for our Swim for Type 1 challenge.

Ways to take part

• Swim the equivalent of the channel = 21 miles
• Swim half of the channel
• Or a distance of your choice!

You can do the challenge in your local swimming pool, lido or even brave the open water. Break it down into smaller chunks or get your friends and family involved and split the 21 miles up between you!
