We’re swimming to save lives
Did you know suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia?
That means that each year more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer.
This March, we’re swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
By sponsoring our challenge, you’ll be helping to prevent youth suicide.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing.
Our Impact
So far this year we helped provide...
2344
Young people with vital mental health support.
Funds raised over the years

Considering you only learnt to swim a year ago this will be an amazing achievement. It’s never too late to ditch the armbands and make a difference.

Your goal has inspired me to see if I can do the same. I've done 3 x 1000kms since we last spoke. Swimming lots of laps is quite tiring.. does it get any easier?

Hey swim-star! Your laps are like fish tales – making a splash for charity in the sea of goodwill. Remember, each lap is a stroke of genius, and you're not just swimming, you're making waves of difference. Keep it reel, swim-bassador, and let's sea you conquer those laps with a fintastic attitude! 🏊♂️💦"
