Join the SwimTrek 60k 2024

Swim to help save the seas with SwimTrek this November

Each November, SwimTrek, a swim holiday company, runs the SwimTrek 60k. This virtual event challenges you to swim 60km in the 30 days of November, either solo or with a team of up to six. For 2024, SwimTrek has pledged to donate $5 for every participant to SeaTrees, a charity that funds regenerative projects in the ocean. These include restoring coral reefs, seagrass meadows and mangrove and kelp forests.

We are supporting the SwimTrek 60k by running a parallel challenge on the Climategames app that funds mangrove restoration in Kenya.

You need to register for both challenges separately but you can count your swimming mileage to both at the same time. You don’t need to do double the distance!

Find out more about the SwimTrek 60k and register.

Sign up for the challenge on the Climategames app.

I started Outdoor Swimmer in 2011 (initially as H2Open Magazine) as an outlet for my passion for swimming outdoors. I've been a swimmer and outdoor swimmer for as long as I remember. Swimming has made a huge difference to my life and I want to share its joys and benefits with as many people as possible. I am also the author of Swim Wild & Free: A Practical Guide to Swimming Outdoors 365 a Year, I provide one-to-one support to swimmers through Swim Mentoring and I'm the creator of the Renaissance Swimmer project.
