Laps for Lungs is a community swim challenge inspired by long-time Trail to Triumph supporter Cameron Thompson. It honours those affected by dust-related lung disease and brings a new group of supporters — swimmers, families and workplace teams — into the fight alongside our runners.
Core Challenge
25km swim over 2½ days — 6hrs Friday, 4hrs Saturday, 2½hrs Sunday. Designed to reflect the endurance required to live with dust disease.
Team Relay
Teams of 2–4 swimmers complete the 25km together, rotating at intervals.
Virtual Swim
Log your swim distance from any pool, over the same weekend. Minimum 5km.
Structure
100m intervals every 2min 30sec, with a 10min break every 2km.
Venue
Total Fusion Lions Springfield Lakes.
Participants
Recreational swimmers, masters' squads, health advocates and Trail to Triumph supporters.
“Laps for Lungs mirrors the emotional grit of Trail to Triumph in a swim-based format. It's inclusive, symbolic and scalable — bringing new communities into the fight against dust-related lung disease.”
