Freedom Swim Series

The Freedom Swim Series is an ocean swimming series held in South Africa. The Freedom Swim Series is a succession of cold water Cape sea swimming races to promote swimming and to raise funds for good causes. Each swim takes place on a public holiday specifically to celebrate these significant days and South Africa’s history and heritage. They aim to raise awareness of the significance of these public holidays and to give back by raising funds for causes which are related to these national public holidays.
