Christmas Island

Swimming in circles



Doing anything I can to get my last few Ks in- including swimming in circles 😂

Early swimmers!



Another perfect morning at Flying Fish Cove with 6 of our early risers- even a few who were going against their natural body clock! a cool K to start the day!! Go team Christmas Island 🇨🇽

Off to a flying start



Flying Fish Cove blessed us with crystal clear and calm waters this morning for our first team Christmas Island swim for Laps for Life 2025. A cool 1.5km to get our meter running. Thanks to Chrissy and Shayla for joining me.

We’re swimming to save lives



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, we’re swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

By sponsoring our 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.

Our Impact

So far this year we helped provide...

1764

Young people with vital mental health support.

Funds raised over the years
