About the race
Vigour Events organized a 24-hour relay swim to raise funds for research into Rett Syndrome, a neurological disorder affecting young girls. The event took place at Pinkston Watersports in Glasgow, offering participants the unique experience of swimming through the night in a floodlit lake environment.
The relay format allowed teams to rotate, with participants able to rest and refuel while their teammates continued the swim. The initiative aimed to support the charity Reverse Rett in their mission to speed up treatments and find a cure for the condition.
