  • You can make a general donation of any amount here.

  • No, not unless you really want to! When you register for the swim, you choose your preferred hour anytime during the 24 hours.

  • Absolutely! You can come back and swim again any time for a gold coin donation, as long as there is room in the lane. Check with the swim marshalls on duty at the pool.

  • No, you can walk or even float if you like. Lots of people do! Just make sure you select the Beginner lane during registration and give way to the people swimming in that lane. You can see them but they won’t necessarily see you!

  • No, there will be a free ice bath, meditation and breath work session happening on the Saturday afternoon with Breathwork HQ, Meditation HQ and Narraprana.

    The team from Spinal Symmetry will be giving free massages to swimmers over the weekend.

  • At Head Above Water, we raise funds so that our partners can deliver mental health and suicide prevention programs out in the community. At this time, we have affiliations with Anchor Health, Tomorrow Man, Tomorrow Woman, Meditation HQ and Spoke International. Click here to learn more about each of our program partners.

    As we grow and raise more money, we may look to widen the scope of the organisations we work with. Our goal is to foster sustainable, mentally fit communities all across Australia.

  • Try these words (feel free to make it your own!):

    The Head Above Water 24 Hour Swim is on 2-3 March at Collaroy Rock Pool.

    I know times are tight friends, but if mental health and suicide prevention are something you feel strongly about and you have a spare dollar or two, know that anything you donate is going straight to grassroots programs in schools, clubs and community groups to give kids and people a safe space and the tools to get through tough mental times.

    Sadly, suicide is a heartbreaking and ongoing issue in our community.
