Please Support The 7th Annual Gratitude Swim!

Every year, Pod Squad comes together to celebrate the year, the ocean, and our community. For the past seven years, our Annual Gratitude Swim has been at the heart of that tradition.

Over 2 km, our swimmers pause every 100 m to reflect on something they’re grateful for; the people who support us, and the moments that keep us connected. We finish the swim the way we started it: together, sharing a Magnum ice-cream and a splash of bubbles from a shared magnum.

For many years now, we’ve proudly partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities WA (RMHC WA). Many of our swimmers also volunteer with RMHC WA, supporting families whose children need hospital care far from home. RMHC WA provides a “home away from home” 24/7, 365 days a year – a place where families can stay together, with dedicated staff and education and well-being services to help them stay strong through tough times.

This year, we’re again swimming in gratitude for RMHC WA.

Please help us reach our fundraising target of funding 20 nights at RMHC WA for families inneed.

Let's turn our gratitude into practical support for families who need to stay close and connected to their little loved ones.

Thank you to my Sponsors
