Nearly done!



9km down and 2 days left to go, I’m feeling SO much better than I did at the start of March - feeling unstoppable! I’m praying this motivation stays with me after the month ends and my goal is met… stay tuned :)

Hit $1000 donations



thanks everyone for your kind donations wow $1000 amazing stuff for such a great cause.

Official day 3



Another 10 laps! Wearing my swim cap and goggles actually shaved 5 minutes off my total swimming time :)

Second swim



Felt a little ‘bleh’ today but this swim was a nice break to turn my brain off. Swam in a 25m pool which was a nice change.

Official day 2



Another 10 laps, stay tuned for a special visit to a professional chlorinated lap pool soon :)

First swim



Easy swim today, a little cold but it was a good quiet swim!

2 days & 2km down!



I did NOT envision myself getting into the pool this year, let alone swimming 2km - my original goal! I’ve found that despite my crawling pace, a 1km swim is very achievable for me - which is an absolutely unbelievable feeling!!! I’ve since altered my goal significantly - I think time will end up being my biggest motivator :) P.S; for anyone using an Apple Watch - count your laps manually! Apple Watch was too generous during my swim and counted an extra 250m.

Wowza.



I was a little stunned this morning when I woke up and saw how generous people were yesterday. We raised $433 before I'd even hit the water. Thank your thank you thank you for your immense generosity to such an important cause, and your belief in this gal to swim 20km this month. It was an absolute honour to dive in today with all your support. I swam 1.2km this morning and am so excited for the month ahead. It's not too late to sign up to the event yourself, let me know and I'll send you a link. For any Ballarat folk who want to join me for a swim, head on down to Eureka Pools tomorrow! I go pretty slow, but if that feels daunting, join me for the warm up or the cool down.

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...

1865

Young people with vital mental health support.
