What is it?

Join us for a 12-hour Swimathon to raise funds for Berry Street Victoria, supporting vulnerable children and families in our community. Whether you’re swimming a few laps or many, every stroke counts!

 

  On the Day

• Squad swimmers will start the Swimathon with their regular Saturday morning squad training — these laps will count toward their total.

• Swimathon entrants can begin swimming from 7:00 AM to maximise their swim and rest times, or simply come along at any time during the day.

• You might want to gather a team and book a lane for an hour — teams can swim relay-style or in a conga line, or however you like!

• Just make sure there is always one person from your group swimming in the lane.

• Swimmers and teams can stay all day or just join in when it suits them — the goal is to contribute, have fun, and help us break some lap-counting records!

• We just need to ensure that there is always at least one swimmer in the pool for the entire 12 hours.

• The Registration Page is for the swimmer — you don’t have to commit to the exact number of laps listed, just provide an estimate and give yourself a goal to aim for.

• Have fun, swim with your friends, and be part of a great cause!
