Join SAFRA in raising funds for youth at risk and people with disabilities through SAFRA Swim For Hope 2026!
Introduced in 2011, SAFRA Swim For Hope is our annual charity swim event that brings together National Servicemen and their families to support meaningful causes, while staying active and bonding through swimming. More than just a swim, it's a chance to challenge yourself while making a meaningful difference.
This year, event proceeds will go towards Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore, The Salvation Army, The Singapore Association For The Deaf, President's Challenge, SAF Care Fund and Singapore Aquatics in support of youth at risk and people with disabilities.
Whether you are pushing your limits, bonding with loved ones, or rallying your friends and colleagues for a shared cause, every stroke contributes towards creating a greater impact. With different swim categories and distances to suit all fitness levels, everyone can take part and give back in their own way!
