A growing number of swimmers participate in solo and real marathon swims and open water charity events to make a positive impact on initiatives, topics, events and movements of their choice.
Michelle Evans-Chase summarized 5 steps on how these swimmers and anyone with a passion can make a more measurable impact of their activities and swims:
1. Make it measurable
2. Know who you’re targeting
3. Develop a Theory of Change
4. Bake evaluation into your process
5. Don’t be afraid to ask for help
