Laps for Lachie Ricchini
Lachie and the Ricchini family are well known in the City of Greater Geelong and throughout the wider Victorian swimming community.
Lachie meant so much to a lot of different people from all aspects of his life and he touched our hearts deeper than he will ever know.
Whether you were school mates, in the same swimming club, competed against him, trained with him or his brother Cam or father Brett or just said hello at the local pool, you were important to Lachie.
To honour Lachie and continue his passion to raise awareness of mental health, we will be swimming laps to save lives.
On Sunday 3rd March 2024 at Kardinia Aquatic Centre between 10.30am - 12.30pm, we will celebrate Lachie's life by hosting a community swim-a-thon for all to attend.
'Laps for Lachie' swim caps in his favourite bright colours will be available for purchase on the day for $10 each.
Through the support of the local council pool entry will be free on the day, along with many activities both in and out of the water.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
We strongly encourage everyone to attend and Let's make Laps for Lachie a memorable event for a cause that touches many lives.
Together, we can make a difference. See you there!
Our Impact
So far this year we helped provide...

Hey mate. I don't know what's going through your head or how you're feeling but I'm so sorry for your loss. It's an extremely devastating thing to see, and I can't imagine what's it's like for you. Although we may not be in contact as much, I want to show that I've got your back, I don't expect anything back so I do hope this message gets to you well. I'm wishing all the best to you. I won't be able to show up to your event due to circumstances in my own life, I'm sure you can understand, but know that I wish the best for you and your family. Keep pushing mate. You're doing excellent things in this world, and you should be proud with all the progress you make. Regards, Cooper
