Every day another young Australian dies from suicide.
Laps For Life organizes an annual swimming event to help fight this epidemic. The proceeds will be used to fund ReachOut, an organisation that provides mental health support for young Australians.

You can participate in any way you like, whether you are a novice swimmer or a competitive swimmer.
You can swim wherever you want: take a swim at the local pool or head to the beach for an ocean swim.
Swim as far and as fast as you can. Set a goal, then use our lap calculator to determine how many sessions you will need.
You can swim whenever you like.
You can swim in any style you like: freestyle, backstroke or butterfly. Just get out there and start swimming.
