KIwi Swimming is NZs highest read and engaged with swimming page, updating and commenting on all swimming events when others do not .

Nationwide

Kiwi Swimming has been the only outlet that regularly updates and comments on pinnacle swimming events as results happen. A facebook page, it has the support of our top swimmers and coaches but, like other media, cannot grow and continue without financial support. More than 100,000 read the page during the week of the world swimming champs in Doha 2024, with more than a million viewers doing so in the past three months. .

The Paris Olympics in July was NZ's best chance of an Olympic swimming medal in more than 28 years. Newshub has closed and many Stuff sports reporters were made redundant recently and so fewer now report on swimming.

If you want to see the sport of swimming covered and the page expanded, please donate.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
