WHY WE'RE SWIMMING

Grief doesn't follow a schedule. It arrives in the middle of the night, at the grocery store, on ordinary Sunday afternoons. For those who have lost a loved one, it becomes the shape of daily life.

On August 15th, we're taking to the waters of Puget Sound to say: you are not alone in this.

The swim is a tribute and a declaration. We move through something cold and vast and beautiful because grief is cold and vast and beautiful, and because on the other side of hard things, there is still the sun on the water and the people who showed up beside you.

Every stroke is dedicated to a loved one lost. Every participant is here to honor their loved one, and those carrying grief. As we swim, we take each stroke and each breath honoring this path of grief and transformation.
