Sport and solidarity for Léman hope: Swim4hope kicks off soon!

Next week, 30 companies plan to take turns swimming a unique relay across Lake Geneva from Chillon to Geneva, with the goal of raising funds for Sailing Trips Hope. For the 4th edition of the Swim4hope event, the swimmers of hope will form 65 teams and gather from Wednesday, August 30, 2023, to Saturday, September 2, 2023, aboard the Léman hope sailboats to take on this athletic challenge filled with camaraderie!

GivenGain fundraising

In addition to their athletic commitment, participating teams are also encouraged to create their own fundraising page through the GivenGain platform. Donations are directly donated to Léman Hope, enabling us to take an ever-growing number of young people on our Sailing Trips. A big thank you to them!

The ultimate kilometer

The goal of the final 1 km swim—open to everyone on September 2—is to share a special moment together. The group of swimmers, made up of young “Léman Hope” participants and their families, volunteers, and other individuals, will set off from the Perle du Lac in Geneva to complete the final stretch of the 115 km already swum during this year’s event, ending at the Bains des Pâquis. Join us! All you need to do is register here. (The CHF 50 participation fee will be donated in full to support the Sailing Trips Hope Sailing Trips 💙).

Volunteer work

In addition to the swimmers, volunteers are an integral part of the event's success. Whether on land, on the water or at arrivals and departures, there are many different tasks to be accomplished over the 4 days. So if you'd like to take part in the Swim4hope adventure as a volunteer, registration is now open! For further information: +41 77 470 20 63 & event@lemanhope.ch.
