Team ReachOut

First laps in πŸ’ͺ



Our first swim for Laps for Life… and my first swim in a 50m pool since high school. 700m down and I’ve gotten cocky… maybe we raise the target to 5km?

February swimming



Not living very close to any body of water or feeling very confident swimming in the pool can often limit the options for completing my laps. However, I am lucky enough to be able to spend a short time during the summer holidays near the beach and swim as much as I can. So across 12 days I was able to swim 2kms very slowly but surely. Enjoying the water and having meaningful conversations were the focus of my goal and I will continue to do so this March.

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...

2162

Young people with vital mental health support.

Thank you to our Sponsors
