Make Waves for Hong Kong 2026
Follow a spectacular lap around Hong Kong Island with Make Waves for Hong Kong 2026 on Nov. 16, 2026, starting and finishing at Sandy Bay near Cyberport.
Seven relay teams featuring 42 swimmers will cover a 45-km clockwise route, making their way past Stanley, Shek O, Victoria Harbour, and other familiar stretches of coastline. Swimmers rotate every 30 minutes while tackling currents, ferry traffic, and changing open-water conditions for an estimated 10 to 13 hours.
Beyond the physical challenge, the event supports Splash Foundation’s free learn-to-swim and water safety programmes for under-resourced communities. Follow the swimmers through the live tracker and support the campaign as it aims to raise HK$4 million.
