Story 3
The Oceans 8 Charity Swim returns to Vetch’s Beach in Durban later this month, bringing together swimmers, schools and charities to raise funds for conservation, education and community projects.
Since launching in 2023, the event has raised more than R3 million for organisations supporting rescue services, wildlife protection, early childhood education and environmental work.
Swimmers complete distances that convert into donations for participating charities, helping fund projects such as coastal rescue operations and anti-poaching initiatives.
The event was started by four founding charities, including the National Sea Rescue Institute and Project Rhino.
