Get ready to follow an incredible open-water challenge as Make Waves for Hong Kong 2026 returns on Nov. 16, 2026, bringing together 42 swimmers across seven relay teams. Starting at Sandy Bay near Cyberport, the teams will tackle a 45-km clockwise route around Hong Kong Island, passing Stanley, Shek O, and Victoria Harbour before returning to the finish. The full swim is expected to take 10 to 13 hours.

Now in its fourth year, the relay features a cross-section of Hong Kong, including three-time Olympian Fenella Ng, recreational swimmers, and business leaders. Participants will take 30-minute turns in open water as their teams face currents, ferries, changing conditions, and one another throughout the day.

Organized by Splash Foundation, the event aims to raise HK$4 million to support free learn-to-swim and water safety programmes for under-resourced communities. Supporters can follow the competition through the live tracker, cheer on the swimmers, and support the fundraising campaign.
