We have collected over $10,000 to fund the Building of pools on the beaches of Gaza.

We are now heading a campaign to raise money for Swimming lessons for the children of Gaza who have been through so much, including for many who have been orphaned or hurt in many ways.

It would be really good if you could help some of these children to have fun in the sea, learn a new skill and see that there is hope for then in this terrible time.

This is the link to the fundraiser.  Give what you can.

This year our Annual International Swim with Gaza will be held on August 22nd to 29th.

We have chosen these dates to coincide with the Swimming Carnival in Gaza which will be on 22nd August, depending on the seas. If the sea if too rough the Carnival will be held a week later.

If would be fantastic if you could organise your own Swim With Gaza on this week. We had 30-40 places around the world doing the solidarity swim in 2023 and 2024, but last year was so horrible we didn’t attempt to have an international swimming event. 

You can see videos of previous years 2023 and 2024

This year everything is quieter and when Amjed Tantish took on the huge task of again teaching hundreds of children we decided to have another International Swim With Gaza. 

Maybe you can make this year yours. Just do it with friends and let us know your plans here.

The seas in Gaza can be rough in August so we’ve chosen a range of dates (the last two weekends in August) for our International Swim to coincide with the Swimming Carnival that Amjed is planning for late August, when hundreds of Palestinian children will rush into the sea together to celebrate their swimming success.

Wherever you are on these weekends, get in the water with friends and family to celebrate the resilience of Palestinians. And do send us the videos!

Start planning now and let us know what you’re up to using the contact page here.

Join us in the sea in August and swim with the beautiful children of Gaza.
