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.
First day diving in!
Today marked my first day swimming laps, and I couldn’t be more excited (and exhausted)! I set out to swim for a solid workout, and by the time I finished, I had swam 1.15km—46 laps in a 25m pool. It was definitely a challenge, but there’s something so satisfying about pushing your limits, feeling every muscle work, and finally reaching the end of each lap. There’s something about swimming that feels both meditative and energizing. It’s such a great full-body workout, and I’m already looking forward to getting back in the water tomorrow. Here’s to many more laps, staying committed, and improving my endurance. If today is any indication, I’m in for a rewarding journey!My Swim Progress
