Swim to save lives this March 2026 with Laps for Life

It’s not too late to join the Laps for Life youth mental health initiative by swimming laps throughout March to raise awareness of youth mental health issues and raise funds for ReachOut.

Every day, another young person in Australia loses their life to suicide.

Raising funds for ReachOut helps make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.

It’s free to sign up and with every lap you swim, you’ll help save lives. Sign up solo or in a team, set your swim goal and get started. It doesn’t matter if you swim a little or a lot. With every lap, you’ll be helping save lives, as every dollar you raise will help prevent youth suicide.

ReachOut

ReachOut is guided by a clear vision – better mental health and wellbeing for all young people.

Anonymous and confidential, ReachOut is a safe place where young people can openly express themselves, get a deeper understanding and perspective on what’s happening in their lives, connect with people who will provide judgement-free support, and build the resilience to manage their challenges now and in the future.

Designed with – and specifically for – young people, ReachOut is 100 per cent online, anonymous and confidential, and lets young people connect on their terms. From one-to-one peer support via PeerChat to professional parent coaching for families as well as tips, stories and resources, ReachOut offers a wide range of support options that allow young people to engage in the ways they want to, when they want to.
