Story

After an unpredictable year of stress, boredom and fewer outdoor adventures, we are offering an opportunity to lift your spirits and find a new wave of motivation through an event that will fulfil your desperation to get outside and move your body. Simultaneously, you will be raising funds to help disadvantaged communities around the world. It is the prime opportunity for you to bring about a positive change the world is desperately craving.

Ever since our very first project took place in Huanchaco, Peru we have received great feedback from volunteers and the locals who are involved in the projects. Each aspect of our programmes has proven valuable to the volunteers and local children alike. A past volunteer of our Peru project stated In the three weeks I spent with Bryan, Quique and the children I saw huge improvements in confidence and ability. I am sure with the extra time and funding Bryan and the team have the results will be remarkable!

Not only does the success of our programmes bring a heart-warming moment of fulfilment to the SwimTayka team, our partners have said the time we spend running our projects with them is often the most memorable moment of the year.

Being rewarded with the smiles and laughs of the young children as they learn to live safely alongside the water, paired with the knowledge that our work will save lives, is all the motivation we need to continue to working towards our future goals in the coming years. We have been able to reach out to over 8,000 children and hope to continue to help many more.
