Rachel's fundraiser for SwimTayka

Rachel Porter is raising money for SwimTayka

SwimTayka English Channel Relay 2026 · 6 January 2026 to 30 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

We provide free swimming lessons and environmental education about clean water stewardship to underprivileged children who live along the earth’s open water: rivers, lakes and oceans.

Story

In August 2026 I’m taking on a challenge that’s as wild as it is inspiring — swimming the English Channel as part of a relay team. We’ll be taking turns to cross the Channel, It’s no small feat, but we’re diving in — literally — and training hard to get there.

We’re doing it to support SwimTayka, a UK-based charity that brings life-saving water safety and drowning prevention education to children in underserved communities around the world. It’s hard to believe, but drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children globally — and most of these tragedies are preventable with just basic swimming and water safety skills.

please help in raising the funds for this well deserved charity
