Rotto for Rhinos

By Oliver Basson Join Me

New Year's Day swim

Great to do some ocean swimming in calm conditions at Greens Pool on New Year's Day. 

9 December morning swim

Training is going well this week, with one pool session and two beach swims so far. Great warm weather for it! 

I'm participating in World Games For Wildlife

We’ve decided that when it comes to our wonderful natural world, it is time to give our iconic wildlife some help, so we're participating in the World Games For Wildlife 2021 by swimming to Rottnest Island for the rhinos. 

Established in 1987, Save African Rhino Foundation is one of the world’s biggest NGO donors to Zimbabwe rhino conservation.  As one top-ranking official in the National Parks of Zimbabwe said in 2004: “If it were not for the Save African Rhino Foundation, the black rhinoceros would be extinct in Zimbabwe by now.”

Please sponsor us to support our challenge. Together we can make a real difference.

Thank you for being game!
