# Over 1.1-million-rand was raised and 14 charities supported from the proceeds of the 2025 Oceans 8 Charity Swim in Durban. Around 250 swimmers took part in the event. Among the first-timers were swimmers from Lamontville Swimming Academy, whose entries were sponsored by the Balwin Foundation NPC. The proceeds will support organisations working in conservation, education, and community upliftment. Race organiser Hilary Bruss says the event is about community and purpose.
