SAFRA Swim For Hope returns for its 8th edition, happening from 12 – 14 October 2018, at four different SAFRA clubs – SAFRA Jurong, SAFRA Toa Payoh, SAFRA Yishun and SAFRA Tampines!
Last year’s Swim For Hope saw the participation of more than 3,000 swimmers, whom have all come together to do their part and support a good cause.
Introducing a brand new Junior Category (suitable for children between ages 6 to 12 years old) – for our young swimmers to join and do their part for charity! As per previous years, the Open Category and Parent-and-Child Category are also available.
All proceeds raised will be donated to the Association for Persons with Special Needs (APSN), Singapore Children’s Society and Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) Care Fund.

Making Waves for Better Lives
Swim For Hope is an annual charity swim event that debuted in 2011 at SAFRA Tampines. By 2014, the well-received fundraiser was expanded to five SAFRA clubs; and then extended to three days the following year. A parent-and-child category was introduced in 2016, encouraging more children below the age of 13 to join and do their part for charity.
With the launch of our new Junior Category (suitable for children between ages 6 to 12 years old) this year, we aim to encourage more children to kick-start a healthy lifestyle while promoting the spirit of giving from a young age.
Participants can choose their two-hour time slot at their preferred club (subjected to availability) and swim as many laps as they wish. There is no minimum number of laps required and participants are encouraged to swim according to their best capability. Swimmers may rest anytime during the two-hour time slot as they deem fit.
Not sure how you can contribute to charity? Simply by registering for the event! All proceeds garnered will be wholly donated to our beneficiaries and swim as many lap as you wish to contribute to the pool of funds as every lap counts into unlocking our milestone mechanism!
| No. of Laps | Donation Amount (S$) |
| 50,000 | $25,000 |
| 100,000 | $50,000 |
| 150,000 | $75,000 |
| 200,000 | $100,000 |

Participants can expect to bring home an exclusive Swim For Hope goodie bag and event tee. All swimmers will also receive a club finisher medal upon successful registration for the respective clubs.
What’s more? For each category, we will be presenting exclusive prizes and trophies to the top 3 swimmers in recognition of their amazing achievements.
