A message from the founder of Mental Health Swims

Today, Mental Health Swims announced that the organisation will be closing.
This decision comes after more than a year of trying everything possible to secure
sustainable, long-term funding. Sadly, despite every effort, the team has now run out of
options, and the CIC will close from today.
This news will come as a shock to many. Mental Health Swims has been such an important
community for so many people - a place of kindness, connection, and understanding. I’m so
proud to have been a small part of it, and I know how much it has meant to swimmers across
the country.
If you’re feeling unsettled or overwhelmed by this news, please don’t struggle alone. Reach
out to the support services listed in the graphics above or to someone you trust. You are not
alone, and help is still available.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has swum with us, volunteered, or
supported this community. It’s been a privilege to share the water with you.

We meet some great people at our mental health swims. The sun was out, there was a gale force breeze 😂😂 the water was a little choppy but we had a great dip. Look out for our swim date for September
