Be inspired, by the Olympics, and by Léman hope!
Join us for a very special evening at the world famous Olympic Museum in Lausanne on Sunday 26 July 2026. Celebrate what will have hopefully been an epic crossing of the lake - and do it for a great cause, our official charity Léman hope. As soon as the final official swim briefing is complete (also to be held at this location), enjoy exclusive after-hours private access to the fantastic Olympic Museum's exhibits, followed by a food and drinks reception in this spectacular setting overlooking Lac Léman. Hear from our charity partner about the inspiring work of Léman hope, which uses 5 day long sailing trips on the lake as a therapeutic tool to help children in remission from cancer rebuild their confidence after what is often many years of brutal and disruptive treatment.
An automatic donation of 50 CHF per participant has already been made by us from your event entry fee - but we hope that is just the start. In 2025, more than 6,000 CHF (€6,500) was raised with just 23 swimmers — imagine what we can achieve together this year!
Tickets cost 67 CHF per person (matches the costs with some support from the Olympic Museum who also support Léman hope) - a public ticket to the Museum alone costs 20CHF normally, and you’re going to get quality cuisine, and drinks included - plus a special presentation of the amazing work Léman hope does to help rebuild confidence in young cancer survivors. And a great chance to celebrate your own achievements near the end of 33.3km!
Worried about being tired after the big marathon day swim?
Well everything in perspective when you hear about the young cancer survivors’ stories - and its shortest swim of the event on the Monday morning…no excuses!
If you are not already swimming #14Switzerland for a charity, why not make this your personal cause and help us reach our target of 33,333 CHF in support of the Léman hope!
You can donate directly here also, as well as set yourself up as a team member and use the page to inspire your own network back home to support your efforts.
