Endurance for the Endangered
Who We Are
Rebecca and Kirstin are two Cape Town based swimmers turning big open-water goals into real-world conservation impact. What started as a friendship at the University of Cape Town Swimming Club grew into a partnership forged over kilometres in the pool and the ocean — including a 7.5km Robben Island swim and a 12km Langebaan Express swim.
The Challenge
Taking on the Western Cape’s “Big Five” swims to raise awareness and funds for endangered animals!
The goal is to complete all five swims within one year starting August 2026.
You Can Help
Donate via BackaBuddy to support the swims and the endangered animals they champion.
A portion of your contribution helps cover swim costs first.
Once those are met, all further donations go 100% toward supporting the animals’ causes.
