PLEASE NOTE THE PIER TO PIER SWIM SCHEDULED FOR 9TH SEPTEMBER HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO POLLUTION
Ken Heathcote is one of the most influential people in the fitness industry in the Uk and at the age of 88 he will undertake three more open water swims to raise money for Edgworth Bowling Club so they can improve their facilities and provide bowling opportunities to people with diverse needs and abilities.
The three swims planned for 2023 are:
The Great North Swim Windermere – Saturday June 10th 2023
Epic Swims Coniston – Saturday August 13th 2023
Ken’s wife, Brenda, suffered a stroke, preventing her from pursuing her favourite interest, Crown Green Bowling. Ken is determined to raise as much money as possible to improve the bowling club facilities. He hopes that people who have suffered from illness or inury or who have diverse abilities and needs will be able to visit the club to play bowls to improve their health and wellbeing.
The first bowling taster day took place on 13th May and this was a great success, with Brenda playing the first game of bowls in a long time. More information about the taster days and how to apply for a place to have a go at bowling, can be found HERE
