I'm swimming to save lives

  • This is my first year diving

  • in for youth mental health

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, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring my 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.

Finished! goal achieved!

Am feeling very proud of myself! 300 laps = 15,000mtrs = 15km swum in March 2025!

Only 1 km left!!!

I enjoyed this swim the most. a sense of calm, swam later than usual & didn't have to share a lane. A beautiful night. 💦

Half way!

128 laps down!! Happy.

Exceeded original target !!!

wow!! 12th of March and have completed 108 laps (5.4km!!!). Who'd have thought. Am really pleased, will continue to swim on for the rest of the month & see where I end up.

1km in a session!

Am very proud of myself, managed to swim 20 laps today & feeling quite chuffed!!

First swim!

its been a looong time since I've swum laps, aerobic fitness not great. Exhausting but happy to have made a start.
