According to its website, the Oceans 8 Charity Swim is South Africa’s first warm water ocean challenge of its kind – set up entirely for charity. “It was created by a group of non-profit organisations to help provide charities that have a footprint in KwaZulu-Natal with a sustainable source of income,” it read.
One hundred and fifty swimmers will be able to swim eight miles and raise funds for one of the four main charities: Duzi-Umngeni Conservation Trust, National Sea Rescue Institute, Project Rhino and Singakwenza.
The funds raised by the four-mile and one-mile swimmers will be equally split between the 10 invitational charities: Crow, Adopt-a-River, Caversham Education Institute, Game Rangers’ Association of Africa, International Sailors’ Society of Southern Africa, Kerr House, Liberty NPO, One Planet SA, Umduduzi – hospice care for children, and Wildlife ACT.
