Swimming and fundraising

Not only do we clean our beaches, we dive deeper. Oly Rush’s mighty swimming challenges catch media attention and the public’s imagination. We use this attention to raise funds for Project Planet Earth and other like-minded charities. It puts an international spotlight on the extent of plastic pollution in our oceans.
