WaterAid Australia’s Big Spring Swim 2024 looks to combat global water crisis

October 2, 2024

Encouraging participants to dive into pools, lakes, rivers and beaches nationwide to raise much-needed funds to help provide clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene to communities in need, WaterAid Australia’s Big Spring Swim is set to return for 2024.

Commencing on 1st November, by participating in the event swimmers will raise vital funds that support WaterAid’s mission of ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to clean, safe water.

Whether swimming in the ocean or a local pool, each effort will contribute to WaterAid Australia's goal of clean water for everyone, everywhere.

Teresa Ayles, Director of Corporate and Community Engagement at WaterAid Australia said The Big Spring Swim is an opportunity for Australians to make a real impact, commenting “the event is a chance for people to support WaterAid’s life-saving work through something as simple and enjoyable as swimming.

“By participating, people are not just joining a fun event or staying fit, but actively helping to provide clean water to people who are most in need. Every dollar raised can transform lives.”

Funds raised from the event will support WaterAid’s initiatives across the globe, helping to transform the lives of millions by ensuring they have access to clean water close to home.

WaterAid Australia invites schools, corporations, community groups and individuals to get involved and support this vital cause.

Participants are encouraged to register early, start fundraising and make a splash for change.
