Make a Splash for Schools

Join our Make a Splash for Schools fundraising challenge and bring your school community together to promote water safety while raising vital funds for the Royal Life Saving Society UK.

Set your distance goal

We’re challenging schools to set themselves a cumulative swimming distance target and achieve (or exceed) it within a single academic school year

Fundraise as a Team

Rally students, teachers, and families to donate toward your event.

Celebrate Your Impact

Showcase your commitment to water safety and enjoy a fun-filled activity for a good cause.

Make a Splash for Schools is a sponsored distance swimming challenge that your school can complete in a location and timescale that suits you! We will offer full support throughout your challenge and keep you motivated. We simply ask that each participating school logs a minimum of 1.5km overall (that’s 2 x 25m lengths per child, calculated on a class of 30). Many schools will no doubt work to log far greater distances and we will fully support this!

When you sign up as a school, you can choose to involve any number of children, from any year group. You are then free to do the swimming, log overall distances and fundraise on one page. Once you set up your fundraising page, all your free downloadable materials will be emailed to you. 

On completion, you will receive a certificate to celebrate your school’s success and downloadable certificates for anyone who takes part!
