The sun rises in the East and we show our swims in the order they were done during the day, starting in New Zealand and ending in Honolulu.

Special thanks to everyone who sent us their videos and photos.

New Zealand

While most of our swimmers were asleep, and Vancouver had yet to go to bed for the Swim the next day, supported in New Zealand were already heading for the beach.

Silwan Jerusalem

We funded this trip from Silwan to Yaffa Beach

Around 15 children from Silwan, a neighbourhood in Jerusalem, packed their bags for the trip to the sea, for many their first time seeing the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Supported in Yaffa welcomed them off the bus and then took them on a tour of Yaffa before pizza and the beach.

It was cold in South Africa, yet many came out to join Swim With Gaza

Cape Town South Africa

And on the beach the sea was too wild to swim – so they played football!

Collectively, these kids swam a full 41 km (25 miles), the length of the Gaza Strip, in the pool specially warmed for the Swim With Gaza. Well done.
