Excerpts from website of Swim with Gaza<\/a><\/p>\n

Since 2007 the people of Gaza have been imprisoned. They have no parks, no mountains, no valleys.<\/p>\n

But they have the sea.<\/p>\n

Their only free space for fun.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s join them in the sea for a solidarity swim. Each year they have a swimming festival on Gaza beach. This is last year’s Gaza Swimming Carnival<\/a><\/p>\n

This year the Swimming Festival will be held on 26th August.<\/p>\n

The kids have already started training in Gaza<\/a><\/p>\n

So join in wherever you are \u2013 Egypt, Lebanon, South Africa, Morocco, Spain, Ireland, Brazil or Chile.<\/p>\n

Splash, and swim, and paddle and enjoy the sea, together.<\/p>\n

Join them in a swim on August 26th, 2023.<\/p>\n

Make it a festive day \u2013 bring friends and family..<\/p>\n

TO SWIM IS TO FEEL<\/p>\n

TO FEEL IS TO EXIST<\/p>\n

TO EXIST IS TO RESIST<\/p>\n

And as you are at it, why not send a message in a bottle to Gaza children, like they did recently in their Letters through the Waves campaign.<\/p>\n
