Join SwimScape in proud support of I Am Hope, as we raise awareness for something that doesn't get talked about enough—men’s mental health.
This isn't about headlines or heroics. It’s about the everyday guys. The boys figuring it out, the teens trying to find their place, the dads juggling it all, the grandpas who’ve been holding it down for decades. Men from all walks of life who quietly show up—paying bills, raising families, supporting friends, being strong when they don’t always feel it.
They rarely ask for recognition. But this swim is for them.
We’ll be swimming 1 mile on the hour, every hour, in their honor. Whether you're male, female, non-binary, transgender, gay, straight, young, old, grumpy, fabulous, introverted, extroverted, black, white, green—you are welcome. This is a space to move together, breathe together, and show the dudes out there that we see you. Hey man, awesome work. Hang in there. We’ve got your back.
Come swim with us. Come stand for them.
The rules are simple:
- Meet at Waiheke Beach, Torbay, Auckland North Shore at 6am for registration,
- Swimmers will start at 7am and swim 1 mile on the hour every hour until 7pm, covering 19,200m.
- You can swim all 12, or you can swim as many as you like.
- Skins, wetsuits, fins, paddles or whatever you like swimming with is welcome.
- We will have a Givealittle page set up dedicated to raising funds for Mens Health.
As always, safety is our priority - we will have an IRB with dedicated crew out there to look after us, as well as paddle boarders to direct you and give you a high five when needed.
Limited swim spots available.
