Did you know that swimming 1 km in 30 days can help raise funds for less privileged groups in Singapore? At Liberty SAFRA Swim for Hope 2020, you can help the less fortunate by making a difference one swim stroke at a time.

Swim for Hope is back and taking on a brand-new virtual format for 2020. This means that you can participate in this year’s event at your own time from 17 October to 15 November 2020.
