April is right around the corner, and here at S.A.L.V.E. we're gearing up for a month that will be filled to the brim with swimming! Up and down the country, people will be supporting S.A.L.V.E. as they take part in Splash for S.A.L.V.E., our first ever nationwide sponsored swim. And we're not just confining our splashing to the UK, as we even have an event taking part as far afield as Belgium!
Ahhh, this is the life...
But it's not too late to take part in Splash for S.A.L.V.E., and with all money raised going towards buying a house of our very own, we're looking for even more brilliant supporters to get swimming. Whether you're a sedate or a serious swimmer, we've got something to suit you. Swimmers can choose to take on one of three challenges, all based on stretches of the River Nile which can be found close to where we work in Jinja, Uganda.

If you prefer things short and sweet, then why not go for our Determined Challenge, and swim 40 lengths in your local 25m pool? That's the same distance as the River Nile's world-famous Bujagali Falls. Or if you fancy splashing a bit further, try tackling our Demanding Challenge - by the time you've swum the 160 lengths required, you'll have gone the length of Owen Falls. And last but by no means least, there's the Difficult Challenge - 320 lengths that would take you from the source of the River Nile to Bujagali Falls.Dinah enjoys a dip!
But of course we're not asking you to take on this swim in the Nile itself (although no doubt the crocs would encourage you to swim like never before!). This can all be done in the comfort of your local pool, where you can take on a challenge by yourself or as part of a team, splitting the distance between you all - the choice is yours.

Thank you from all of us at S.A.L.V.E.!
We desperately need a S.A.L.V.E. home all of our own, and we're relying on you - our brilliant supporters - to get us there! So what are you waiting for? Sign up today and get swimming for S.A.L.V.E.!
