Swim It Forward
2026 Application Form
For young women chasing a swim dream, and ready to create a ripple effect.
Applications are now open!
Each year, two young women aged 18–30 will be selected to receive support through the Swim it Forward program, created to uplift, amplify, invest, and swim alongside young women who are pursuing bold swim-related dreams.
Whether you’re chasing an event, swimming your own distance (English Channel or something else), building a coaching path, launching a community project related to swimming, or something entirely your own—this is your space to rise.
Who Should Apply?
You are:
A young woman between the ages of 18–30
Chasing a swim-related dream for 2026
Facing (or have faced) adversity and are showing up anyway
Looking for encouragement, mentorship, and want to create a ripple effect for young women and girls
Must live in Canada or Australia
We will be in contact with you to connect via email and then to set up a short call to go through your application, and then we will select the 2 applicants no later than October 2025.
