Hello everyone! My name is David, and I am thrilled to launch this fundraising page to support an incredible cause – providing underprivileged children in Hong Kong with the opportunity to learn how to swim! All the funds raised will directly benefit Splash Foundation, a remarkable organization dedicated to making this mission a reality.Swimming has always been a significant part of my life. As a child, I was fortunate enough to have access to competitive swimming as an extracurricular activity and even swim in a club. It was a luxury that I took for granted until I became aware of the stark inequality within our society. Growing up in Hong Kong, I couldn't ignore the fact that many children living in poverty were deprived of the chance to learn this vital skill – swimming. I firmly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to learn how to swim. It is not just a life skill but also a gateway to unique friendships and experiences that make swimming truly special.Motivated by this belief, I have launched this fundraising page to raise both awareness and funds for organizing swimming lessons for the underprivileged class in Hong Kong. Together, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of these children, empowering them with valuable skills and opening doors to a world of possibilities.Join me in supporting this cause by contributing to our fundraising efforts. Together, we can create a positive impact and give these deserving children the chance to learn how to swim. Let's make a splash and transform lives! Thank you for your generous support!

After three separate bouts of quarantine for a combined six weeks of lock up (and numerous negative Covid tests) in the past year, with the prospect of another three weeks holed up in a Hong Kong hotel I decided to take a different route—or rather the same route, over, and over and over. With two days left before quarantine ends I have ACHIEVED MY GOAL OF WALKING 200 KILOMETRES (262,470 STEPS) in a room nine paces long. And I plan to keep walking. Why this regimen of endless 180- degree turns every nine paces? To raise HK$200,000 for the Splash Foundation. That's HK$1,000 for every kilometre I have walked. Walking is easy. Fund raising is more challenging. I joined Splash as a volunteer swim coach for domestic workers and disadvantaged Hong Kong kids six years ago, and we have taught hundreds of people to swim. None of our students know how to swim before they join Splash, and by the end of a 12-week course they nearly all master the basics, most importantly, how to stay afloat without panicking. Lives literally depend on this skill, especially for women and men from countries where sea disasters, and unnecessary drowning, are all too common. So please support us and support my Splash Indoor Hotel Walkathon! If we raise HK$200,000, together we will make it possible for 100 students to take part in our free classes. Though we are all volunteers, the money goes to covering Splash costs: pool lane rentals, salaries for lifeguards, insurance, swim caps for the students and general overhead.

We have enrolled with the Channel Swimming Association in UK and shall take part in the cross of the English Channel in September 2020 in a relay team with three lawyers from the Hong Kong legal profession, namely Eliza Chang, Allen Che and Eugene Wong. We would like to promote the rule of the law and sportsmanship by taking part in this challenging mission. We shall be the first ever relay team from Hong Kong to cross the English Channel. Despite the outbreak of the Coronavirus and the many hurdles and difficulties that we have to face, we move forward courageously in faith and confidence and hope that we can make it through to cross the English Channel as planned in September 2020. If in the worst case the September time slot is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances, we shall fix another date. Splash and our team share common values and visions. We all strive to create a community where people can build their confidence, improve their health and well-being and flourish, both in and out of the water. We feel that it is extremely meaningful to raise funds to Splash so that they can offer free swimming lessons to the under-privileged groups and children with disabilities in Hong Kong. We hope you will support our English Channel mission and support Splash ! Please donate generously ! All donation you make to support this mission will go to Splash. 三位來自香港的律師鄭麗珊、車偉恒及黃宇正，經英倫海峽協會註冊及安排下將於2020年9月4日飛往英國以三人接力方式挑戰橫渡英倫海峽，全程約45公里。我們希望通過參與這次活動宣揚法治精神和體育精神。若成功的話，我們將成為香港游泳史上第一支戰橫渡英倫海峽的接力隊伍。 儘管我們面對許多障礙和困難，我們仍堅定不移，勇往直前。 Splash和我們的團隊有著共同的價值觀和願景。我們認為為Splash籌集資金非常有意義，以便他們可以為香港的弱勢群體和有特殊需要的兒童提供免費游泳課程。 我們希望您能支持我們並支持Splash！請慷慨捐款！

We are a team of 3 swimmers from Credit Suisse, entering the Splash Dash Relay. Funds raised go to Splash which provides free swimming lessons to migrant domestic helpers and children from low-income communities. This is a cause dear to our hearts with Maciej and Li Ling both being volunteer assistant coaches at Splash on the weekends. Each Splash Dash relay team comprises of 5-6 swimmers, including two graduates from a Splash programme. For 30min, each member of the team will take turns to do either 25m/50m laps with the winning team being the one having done the most number of laps.Your donations will help to continue Splash's swim programme, with each HKD2000 helping one student to swim, and HKD25,000 for a class for a whole term. Many Splash students start out as non-swimmers, to completing the program and being able to swim 25m unassisted, and sometimes even more. Splash has helped over 3,000 people to learn to swim, across over 170 programmes, since its inception.

Slow and steady might not win the race, but it will help a lot more people learn to swim. We believe in equal opportunity for all in Hong Kong to learn a skill that is life saving and provides a purpose to some of the most marginalised members of our community.

For the third year in a row, Team Sleigh is swimming for Splash. We sadly won't have Bob at the helm this year due to work commitments but I am confident we can beat our family record (no pressure, girls!) Splash provides swim lessons to communities - currently migrant workers and low income kids - who either don't have access or financial resources for swim lessons. In just 4 years, we have taught over 1,600 people how to swim and be water safe. This has been accomplished through a growing community of swimmers and professional coaches who believe that knowing how to swim is important and everyone should have the chance to learn. More importantly, Splash is a home away from home for the domestic workers in Hong Kong who do so much to support our lifestyles. Providing opportunities to learn new skills and connect with others is such an easy way to give a little bit of support back to them. Thank you for supporting us.

Swimming is a sport that is close to our hearts. Years training in the pool, all those early morning practices, the chance to compete at meets -- it's time for us to give back! We will be raising donations to support Splash -- an organization that provides swimming lessons to domestic helpers, local children, and others here in Hong Kong who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. So far they have taught over 1000 people, and their goal is to reach 5000 people by 2020.To show our commitment to this cause, our team will race the clock to see how many lengths we can swim in 30 minutes! We appreciate any support you can offer, and we thank you for helping us bring positive change to our community.

swimming is not only a [sometimes] fun sport but it is also a needed life skill many helpers do not have money to pay for swimming lessons that's why splash is helping helpers to learn how to swim. Why you ask? imagine you have hired a helper to look after your kid but then then the helper takes your kid to a swimming pool with an off duty lifeguard then child drowns in the pool the helper than cannot do anything because he\her doesn't now how to swim the child does not even have to be deep to drown he\her can drown because of shallow water blackout. That is why i ask you to donate to splash :)

Chlorine Is Our Perfume and Water Is Our Soul. We are two teams of enthusiastic Kellett School students and are passionate about swimming. We realise how incredibly lucky we are to have benefitted from swimming lessons and coaching from an early age. Not everyone is that fortunate. Splash is close to our hearts as we have Aunties that have been able to make the most of the connection that Kellett School has with Splash. We also have many teachers, friends and family members who spend their free time coaching for Splash, helping it to grow and reach its 2020 target. Please support us by donating! We are two groups therefore we need to raise a minimum of HKD10,000.
