The Balmoral Swim is welcoming swimmers with a disability. Working together with Mosman Council we are pleased to announce that the event now has a beach wheelchair and ramp. Swimmers can participate in any event; they can join their wave from the beach or from the water. Companion swimmers are also welcome.
The event is in its 33rd year and is organised by volunteers, most of whom are members of the Balmoral Beach Club. However, the entire local community gets behind the event to make it happen. From Mosman Council to HMAS Penguin, all supported by our generous sponsors.

The Balmoral Swim has raised more than $2,300,000 since 2006 and this year hopes to raise $200,000.

The Children’s Cancer Institute is the only independent medical research institute in Australia wholly dedicated to childhood cancer and every dollar received from the government and granting bodies to support direct research costs must be matched with a dollar raised by the community.

“By holding this event the Balmoral Swim is helping us undertake the medical research we know will uncover a cure for childhood cancer,” says Children’s Cancer Institute's Executive Director, Prof Michelle Haber.

“Fundraising events like the Balmoral Swim enable us to continue this critical research - and demonstrate what can be achieved when communities unite for a common cause.”

This year all funds will go toward the Zero Childhood Cancer program. The most exciting childhood cancer research initiative ever undertaken in Australia. This world-class program brings together all major Australian clinical and research groups working in childhood cancer to offer Australia’s first-ever personalised medicine program for children with high-risk or relapsed cancer.
