Saturday, August 26, Anytime & Anywhere

Since 2007 the people of Gaza have been imprisoned. They have no parks, no mountains, no valleys. But they have the sea - their only free space for fun.

Let’s join them in the sea for a solidarity swim on August 26th.

Each year they have a swimming carnival on Gaza beach. This year the Gaza Swimming Carnival will be held early on 26th August to coincide with our international swim.

Join in wherever you are. Splash, and swim, and paddle and enjoy the sea, together. Make it a festive day – bring friends and family.

If you don’t swim, or the water is too cold – stick your toe in. And if you can’t get to the sea, dip into local water, or just wash your face in solidarity, take pictures or videos and smile to Gaza.

If you are interested in forming a swimming group or just want to just join in, use the form here Contact Us – Swim with Gaza to get your swim in the map.

When you dip in the water on Saturday 26th of August there will be children getting in the sea in Gaza to swim with you.
