Why I swim
I’m swimming this March because too many young lives are lost to suicide. Every lap I swim will help make sure there’s a safe place for young people to turn when life feels overwhelming.
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.
I’m 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
First official day of laps!
I was a little sad to see my local pool had closed their outdoor 50mtr pool for school swimming carnivals so it was inside in the 25mtr pool for me. Thankfully there was minimal people in the swim lanes which meant I could ensure my laps were well paced. A mix of freestyle with flippers and without, board, breast stroke and when I wanted a little breather lap: survival side stroke. It feels good to start my first day of my week off with fitness and raising money for a great cause! Share
V day swim!
Looks like swimming lessons for the year have well and truly kicked off down at my local pool. thankfully… the outdoor salt water pool was free and I was able to smash out 12x50 meter laps. Not bad for my first Laps to life trial. Hope to return back to the pool sometime later next week 👏🏼✨ Share
