SWIM Initiative Lebanon

We are a group of NATURE LOVERS who acknowledge that the sea is our most valuable asset and an important ressource of life, accessible to all. For this purpose, we created SWIM Lebanon which stands for Sustainable Waste Intercity Marathon.
SWIM engages communities all over Lebanon for a combined open water swimming and waste collection initiatives to create a chain reaction of good habits by building new behaviors that lead to protecting our sea from pollution and keeping our environment clean.
We are supported by professional swimmers, event managers, influencers, environmentalists, activists, educators, lecturers, various NGOs, businesses and designers who help us achieve our GREEN LANE objectives.

We believe we can achieve clean Lebanese Sea and coastline through collective efforts and individual responsibility.
By engaging individuals and communities in taking ACTIONS, We can reach a GREENER Lebanon, sustaining the future of its inhabitants.
