Why I swim
Iβm swimming this March because too many young people struggle with mental health, donβt seek help, and feel lost with no hope for a better tomorrow. Every lap I swim helps ensure thereβs a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming. Every lap also helps strengthen the conversation and raise awareness about mental health.
I'm swimming to save lives
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.
More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, yet over a million are not getting the support they need.
ReachOut provides anonymous, free and 100% online services so young people can find a safe place to connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.
Iβm taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to my fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.

My Updates
Reflection - first week of swimming lapsforlife
Saturday, 7th March 2026 --------------------------------------- I logged 19 laps of swimming in our local 50βmetre pool today. This is my first year doing Laps For Life, and originally I signed up for the 2 km challenge for the duration of the event. At the time, I thought 2 km was a big ask, but since the start of February Iβve been going to the pool regularly. Last night, I decided to increase my goal to 15 km. I believe this is doable, and if I manage to do more, all the better. Share
