GET SWIMMING
Dive in and log your laps throughout November to change little lives.
Help change little lives!
Every day, families leave their homes behind so their seriously ill or injured child can get the treatment they need.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Sydney is there to help them stay close, but it costs an average of $190 to support a family for just one night.
This November, set yourself a swim goal and raise funds to make sure families can stay together during the toughest time of their lives.
With every lap you swim, you’ll be helping sick kids have their family right by their side when it matters most.

How your impact supports families in need
By taking part in Swim for Sick Kids you are doing more than just providing a place for sick kids to sleep and have a meal after a long day at the hospital.
YOU are making sure they can keep their families close.
YOU are giving them a normal childhood at the House and a chance to just be kids!
YOU are helping families avoid the financial stress of being away from home. Most importantly, you are providing them with love and support from a community of families, volunteers, and staff.
