Waves of Change is the BlueFit Foundation’s signature fundraising swim event, bringing communities together to help children and families access swimming lessons and essential water safety education.
Across an afternoon of shared effort, teamwork, and generosity, every lap swum and every donation made helps create safer, more confident swimmers.
Why Waves of Change Matters
Too many children miss out on learning to swim due to financial hardship. The BlueFit Foundations Waves of Change exists to change that.
When you take part in Waves of Change, you’re helping children and communities at risk gain confidence, skills, and safety in and around the water.
Funds raised support the BlueFit Foundation to:
Provide access to swimming lessons
Promote water safety and drowning prevention
Support inclusive sport and recreation opportunities
Strengthen community connection and wellbeing
How Waves of Change Works
Waves of Change is designed to be inclusive, flexible, and fun, bringing our community together to raise funds while enjoying the water.
