Jones Robinson swim 34 miles for our Charity

The distance reflects the stretch between their Newbury and Devizes offices along the Kennet and Avon Canal, and will see staff swim a combined total of 2,735 lengths of a 20-metre pool.

The event took place over a single day at David Lloyd Newbury in their outdoor pool. It was made even tougher given the 26 degree heat.

In the end the team completed an incredible 3,114 lengths, which is just over 38/7 miles. Several team members swam more 200 lengths individually. 

“It was a fantastic day!” said Charlie Jones, the company's sales manager. “We couldn’t be prouder of the team, not just for the distance they swam, but for the energy, determination, and commitment they brought to supporting these incredible charities.”

Jones Robinson is an independent estate agency with offices across Wiltshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire. They are passionate about supporting the communities they serve.

This year, Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance is one of the causes they’ve chosen to champion, and for personal reasons too. One of their newest team members has a direct connection to the charity through her husband’s involvement in our lifesaving operations. That link, alongside a wider recognition of the essential role we play across the region, made us a natural choice for their fundraising efforts in 2025.

The support from Jones Robinson will help ensure we can continue to respond rapidly to emergencies across Wiltshire and Bath. As a charity that receives no regular government funding, initiatives like this play a vital role in keeping us flying and delivering critical care when it’s needed most.
