2025 Swim Squad Lapathon

Fifteen dedicated members of the Eltham High School Swim Squad courageously took part in our annual Lapathon Challenge last year on Thursday, 9 October. Our students proudly raised funds for the Nillumbik Wish Giving Tree, an initiative that provides Christmas gifts to families in need. Each year this effort is carried out in partnership with the Lion’s Club, who also assemble food hampers and offer vital support to our community.

Their monumental effort to swim as many laps as possible in just one hour was enthusiastically supported by parents, staff member Ross McKinnon, and representatives from the Lion’s Club. The school is immensely proud of our squad’s ongoing commitment, discipline, resilience, and strong sense of teamwork.

Below is a list of the students who took part in the 2025 Lapathon Challenge.
