Swim around the world with Speedo

Pictured on the left is Sudanese supermodel Alek Wek, lending her support to Speedo's Swim Around the World initiative. Register to take part on 5 April and you'll pay a one-off fee of $5, which will buy a bednet impregnated with insecticide (but do feel free to raise more money for the cause once you've registered). And there's more: Speedo has created a special range of World Swim against Malaria swimwear and will be donating a bednet for every piece you buy.
