Want to swim for a cause in 2026? You can raise funds by tackling the South32 Rottnest Channel Swim and help support a charity of your choice.
We support the charities who volunteer their services to provide enormous support to swimmers and their support crew on Event Day. These charities include:
- Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation
- Marine Rescue Fremantle
- Rottnest Foundation
You can also help support these charities, or any cause that you may prefer, through your Grassrootz page.
