Wet Butches

We’re swimming to save lives



Hello - We are a bunch of queer and ally friends who are swimming for queer youth mental health. 


Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.

More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental health difficulties, this number is evern higher for young queer people!

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.

We're taking part in Laps for Life to make sure these vital services are always there. Please donate to our fundraiser and help more young people get the support they deserve.
