Small Gifts, Big Impact
Every penny you raise really will make a difference and help increase awareness of Newlife, the children that we support and the everyday difficulties they can face without access to essential specialist equipment such as beds, buggies, wheelchairs, and car seats. We really do appreciate every penny that is raised and donated.
Safety First!
Please do take a moment to read our safety tips:
We advise that you always swim with others, especially if swimming outdoors – and its always more fun with a like-minded friend or team!
Aiming to swim outdoors or every day? Please don’t swim in adverse conditions, check the weather, the swell of the water, the temperature, and your own health. #SwimYourWay is a celebration of swimming whenever possible as long as it Is safe. If you really want to reach the goal, you can always tag any missed days on to the end if necessary. There are no hard and fast rules!
