This August, a relay team will enter the Fraser River and begin an extraordinary 1,375-kilometre swim from the Rocky Mountain headwaters to the Salish Sea.

It will be cold. It will be difficult. It will be beautiful. And it will carry a clear purpose: to help build public support for protecting 30% of the Fraser Rivershed by 2030.


This is more than an endurance challenge. It is an adventure of a lifetime in service of one of the most important river systems in the world. The Fraser sustains salmon, wildlife, communities, cultures, and ways of life across British Columbia. Its future matters to all of us.


A journey this bold is meant to move people. To draw attention. To spark conversation. To bring the Fraser into public view in a way that cannot be ignored.


Your donation helps make that possible.


Gifts to the Swim Relay will support the real work of keeping the team moving safely downriver, including wetsuits, safety gear, food, communications, logistics, crew support, and the operations needed to keep a mobile support raft alongside the swimmers and the campaign.


Every gift helps turn this swim from an ambitious idea into a living, moving campaign on the water.


You help keep swimmers in the river. You help carry the story downstream. You help build the public support needed to protect the Fraser Rivershed for generations to come.


Help carry this journey forward.
