On 8 November, 30 brave swimmers successfully completed the Make Waves challenge. Over 1,100 donors and supporters came together to raise over HK$3.5million, which will enable Splash Foundation to teach over 1,700 kids and adults to swim, and continue enhancing swim literacy in disadvantaged communities. See results below.

Make Waves for Hong Kong is an annual fundraiser and awareness raising campaign to change the tide on swim literacy.  5 teams of 6 relay swim the 45km around Hong Kong Island, a feat that takes about 12 hours and starts in the dark early morning hours. The event brings together a diverse group of individuals with a range of swim abilities, including elite swimmers and business leaders.

A huge congratulations to all the 2024 Make Waves swimmers!
