We’re swimming (again) to save lives
Every year the Manuka Pool Lappers join forces to fundraise and lap to raise money for suicide prevention!
We cap our fundraising off with a 24 hours swim on 23 March 2025 - where anyone can join in for a few laps and/or make a donation.
Since we started in 2021, we have collectively raised more than $75,000 - will you help us crack $100,000 in 2025?

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...
339
Young people with vital mental health support.
