Make a Splash is a sponsored distance challenge that can be completed your way. Whether you choose to swim, canoe, or stand-up paddleboard (SUP), we will be on hand to offer you full support throughout your challenge and keep you motivated.

As a lifesaving teacher, I understand the importance of water safety and drowning prevention daily. It's a cause close to my heart, and I'm determined to do my part in raising awareness and funds for the RLSS UK. (Rebecca Davies, Make a Splash 2023 participant)
