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.

Yay it’s friday

Long weekend in Melbs so I have come to the Mornington Peninsula to squeeze in an open water swim or two (or 3 🤣) A little 1 k-er before the social Friday night catch up with friends, o e if the best things of swimming in a group, the chats post swim.

Swim # 2

Pool swim, and a 25m pool at that! I struggle with the pool swims, up and down we go. Thank goodness for smart watches, I always lose count of my laps after about 4! 62 laps done.

Day one

Determined for this first swim to be an open water swim, even though I had a full day. An opportunity opened up so off I went, definitely the right thing to do when almost straight after I started swimming a stingray swam past. So privileged to be able to swim outdoors.
