What we're building Level Water exists to solve a problem that shouldn't exist: too many children with disabilities are still missing out on access to swimming. Our fundraising events are how we change that. We design and deliver some of the UK's most iconic open water swimming events - bold, logistically complex, community-driven experiences that generate unrestricted income to directly fund our programmes.

You'll take ownership of operational delivery of our 2027 event season , and play a key role in preparing the 2028 event cycle.

You'll be stepping into a well-established team, supported by strong systems, trusted suppliers, and an experienced senior team. We're a small, high-trust team.
