Swim for Life is a fundraising event whose aim is to raise funds for a medical facility in Phillip Island
The nearest medical facility is currently 25kms away, which is not practical for the locals and tourists visiting the area, especially in the case of an emergency.

The Swim for Life initiative will comprise of a series of events such as a public swim and Gala to raise funds.
Amanda Drennan, a former Paralympian, will be swimming around the whole of Phillip Island – a long 65km swim in shark infested waters! But don’t worry, she will be well protected in a shark cage.
