Find out how easy it is to sup­port your club with easyfundraising. 

We cur­rent­ly have 32 reg­is­tered users of easy­fundrais­ing who have raised over £470. Imag­ine how much we could raise if we all registered. 

It’s easy – you can still use over 2000 of your favourite sites – but you access them through the link on the club web­site – that’s the only difference. 

Just use the links on the easy­fundrais­ing site when­ev­er you shop online and, at no extra cost to you, we’ll receive a dona­tion of up to 15% from every pur­chase you make. It’s that simple! 

If you already shop online, please help raise extra funds for the swim­mers by using this com­plete­ly free ser­vice. Fol­low the instruc­tions below to find out how.

Amazing Performance From Our Bag Packers

Posted on 5 February 2013

Many hands make light work as our swim­mers raise over £1000 pack­ing bags.

On Sun­day 3rd Feb­ru­ary 2013 at 11am, 34 swim­mers from the Nation­al Squad descend­ed on Sains­burys at Colton to under­take an unusu­al challenge.

Instead of tak­ing to the water they took to the aisles bag pack­ing in order to raise mon­ey for the club. For 2 hours they packed their socks off and even looked to be enjoy­ing them­selves! It was then the turn of the Nation­al Age Group Squad who took to the task with great enthusiasm.

Even when it became qui­et their enthu­si­asm nev­er fal­tered. Final­ly it was the turn of the Region­al Squads who although few­er in num­ber raised an aston­ish­ing amount of mon­ey, the final 2 tills left open were in a ​“pack off” to see who could raise the most money.

All the squads looked amaz­ing in their City of Leeds kit and real­ly stood out, with­out a shad­ow of a doubt this helped to raise an unbe­liev­able total of £1035.88.

A huge thank you to each and every swim­mer who gave up their time on Sun­day. It just goes to show that City of Leeds Swim­ming Club real­ly are A Team Above All and Above All a Team.
