💙people who haven’t swum in years but want to be part of something meaningful

Suicide remains the leading cause of death for young people in Australia.

More than 1 in 3 are experiencing mental-health difficulties — yet over one million aren’t getting the support they need.

That’s why we swim.

Through Laps for Life, we raise funds for ReachOut, which provides free, anonymous and 100% online support so young people can connect, share and get help when life feels overwhelming.

Our season builds to a fun Canberra tradition — a 24-hour continuous swim at Manuka Pool on the final weekend of the season. Everyone contributes a few laps (or a few hundred!) so the water never goes quiet.

Then, in March 2026, we’ll all track our laps for the official Laps for Life count — turning every stroke into tangible impact.

You don’t need to be fast.
You don’t need to be fearless.
You just need to show up.

🏊‍♀️ Join the team.
💙 Swim your laps.
🎗️ Donate or fundraise.

Together, let’s keep the pool moving — and make sure no young person has to face tough times alone.
