SETTLE Area Swimming Pool is joining forces with near neighbours Freda’s Nursery in a 12-hour fund-raising marathon that will see three hardy cyclists pedalling static cycles round the clock on Saturday, March 18.

The event, which runs from 5am to 5pm, takes place in the pool’s fitSpace centre which was opened last autumn as part of the year-long redevelopment of the fifty-year-old pool.

The money raised will go towards the rebuild programme for the nursery and help with the pool’s continuing need for funding.

The three cyclists are mum Jo Ward, nursery worker Anita Eccleston and former pool worker Kate Dinsdale.

The event is being sponsored by Kings Mill Garage and a justgiving page has been set up at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/sasp-spinathon-2023.
