Easter Swimming Marathon

A dive into solidarity in Aprilia

The Easter Swimming Marathon has become a staple of spring in Aprilia, in the province of Latina, Lazio. Hosted in the Aprilia Sporting Village pool on Via Carroceto, the event combines swimming with a strong commitment to solidarity: it is not a race against the clock, but a collective gesture of generosity where every length swum translates into concrete help for those in need. The event, organized by the Sporting Village Master Team, is open to master swimmers and casual enthusiasts alike, because what matters is not performance, but the spirit of sharing.

The challenges: Easy, Strong, and Extra Strong

The program features three difficulty levels, allowing every participant to choose the challenge best suited to their abilities, to be tackled individually or as a relay:

• Easy (10x100 m): designed for those who want to participate with a purely recreational spirit;
• Strong (30x100 m): dedicated to more trained swimmers;
• Extra Strong (50x100 m): the endurance test reserved for true long-distance swimmers.

The non-competitive format makes the evening accessible to everyone, from teenagers to adults, in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

Fundraising for SOLIDART

The heart of the Marathon is charity. The proceeds from the evening are donated to SOLIDART, the operational center of the A.I.S. (International Solidarity Association) promoted by the "SEGUIMI" Lay Group, which is committed to providing human and Christian support to families living in economic hardship whose children are battling serious health issues. Over the years, the fundraising has allowed for concrete help to various local families, giving the event a value that goes far beyond sport.

The "third half": buffet and sharing

As per tradition, at the end of the challenges, the Aprilia Sporting Village Master Team offers a rich buffet to all participants. It is the so-called "third half," a convivial occasion to celebrate the goal achieved, share the fundraising results, and strengthen that sense of community that is the true soul of the event.

An event rooted in the Pontine territory

Now in its tenth year, the Easter Swimming Marathon has become one of the most cherished initiatives in the city of Aprilia and the entire province of Latina. It brings together sports clubs, volunteer associations, and citizens around a common goal, demonstrating how sport can be a tool for inclusion and mutual aid. For those who love swimming and wish to experience an evening dedicated to the most authentic values, it is an unmissable occasion in the spring calendar of Lazio.
