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.

And that’s a wrap 802 laps! 20km done

I’ve finished the challenge swimming 802 laps. 

Not long to my target

I’ve just hit my 19km mark. 762 laps done.

3km today - the furthest swim I’ve ever done

My biggest swim ever 120 laps of 25m pool. 3km!!!

The final week

Last week I only swam in tuesday and I did 2.05km or 82 laps. I had the rest of the week off as I had state athletics on the weekend.  Yesterday I got in the pool and did 14 laps, not much after a big weekend of running. Today I did 2km or 80 laps of the pool. To date I’ve done 13.98km.

Swim 5 - 2km

6am swim 2km done (80 laps x 25m pool)

Swim 4 - 250m regional school swimming

Today I retreated my school and district at Regional swimming.  250m to my total,

Swim 3 - 2km

This afternoon I did 80 laps. I’m not feeling 100% though but happy with my swim.

Swim 2 - 2.3km

My longest swim ever 2.3km or 92 laps of 25m pool. When I got out I wished I did the extra 8 laps to reach 100.

My first swim - 1.025km

Today I did 41 laps of 25m pool, it was a very slow swim today. I played cricket in the morning but wanted to get my first swim in as I have a busy month with regional swimming and NSW Little A state championships. I will need a bit of rest before competing at these events.
