Bluetit 3 Channel Swim Relay Team June 2026

The Bluetits Chill Swimmers group began in September 2014 by its founder, Sian Richardson, to share her love of cold-water dipping, before officially becoming a Social Enterprise in 2020, and a CÍC in 2025, to further support the ever-growing community. A core value of The Bluetits is ‘challenging our limits, together’, and that looks different to everybody. Whether that’s joining in on a first swim, taking part in one of their events, or swimming the Channel! The Bluetit community is here to support and encourage everyone.

On 12th June 2024, the Bluetit 1 Channel Relay Team challenged their own limits together by completing their own relay Channel crossing. The dedication they all put into this journey, and the exhilaration they felt afterwards, inspired The Bluetits to help facilitate other Bluetits to achieve this same goal and, from this, the Bluetit 3 Channel Relay Team was born! This wonderful team will be attempting to cross the Channel, supported and facilitated by The Bluetits. As part of this, each team member will be fundraising to cover their own costs for this adventure, anything raised above this is being donated by them to The Bluetits to go back into the community.

Bluetits 3 is a team of Milton Keynes Bluetits and Makala Jones from HQ. Each have their own personal reasons for taking part in this challenge - please head to their individual pages to read their stories.

This is a massive challenge and any support is very much appreciated!
