What if your next swim could help save the oceans?
This November, SwimTrek is challenging swimmers around the globe to dive in, log their distance, and make a difference through Swim The World 2026, a free, month-long swimming challenge supporting ocean conservation.
From Olympic-sized pools to open-water swims, every meter counts. Whether you’re an elite athlete, masters swimmer, age-group competitor, or recreational swimmer, you can participate from anywhere in the world.
And here’s the best part: For every swimmer who participates, SwimTrek will donate $5 to SeaTrees, supporting ocean and coastal ecosystem restoration projects worldwide.
No entry fee. No fundraising requirement. Just swim.

They didn’t just reach their goal. They crushed it.

Every Swimmer Makes a Difference
SwimTrek has partnered with SeaTrees and 1% for the Planet to connect the global swimming community with meaningful environmental action.
For every registered participant taking part in the challenge, SwimTrek contributes $5 to SeaTrees. The more swimmers who join, the greater the contribution.
The impact is tangible. According to SwimTrek, the 2025 challenge helped support restoration efforts involving 100 coral fragments in Costa Rica, 300 coral fragments in Fiji, and 1,000 square feet of seagrass and macroalgae in Spain.
It’s a reminder that the swimming community’s impact can extend well beyond the pool.

One Month. One Global Swimming Community. One Shared Goal.
Swim The World isn’t about being the fastest swimmer or covering the greatest distance. It’s about thousands of swimmers contributing what they can toward something bigger.
A 500-meter swim counts. So does a 5,000-meter workout.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best, logging your regular training, or getting back into the water, you can help move the global total forward.
And as more swimmers join, SwimTrek’s contribution to ocean conservation grows.
