Launching on the eve of the 2024 Paris Olympics, the Swimmable Cities alliance is supporting the growth of a global, grassroots movement for transforming urban waterways. With signatories from 49+ cities and 21+ countries, our Charter champions the right to swim, celebrates urban swimming culture, and honours the sacredness of water. Let’s make waves of positive change together!

Steps that you can take to get involved!
 

1. Join the Alliance
Make a commitment to align your organisation with the Swimmable Cities Charter. 

2. Grow the Community

Invite other local swimming groups, businesses and organisations to sign the Charter.

3. Advocate to Decision-makers

Educate local Ministers, Mayors and Councillors about the benefits of urban swimming.

The Swimmable Cities alliance has been catalysed by grassroots organisations from around the world, but it’s our goal that over time we can work together to drive international cross-sector collaboration.

The urban swimming movement is building momentum! What if we had a set of common principles to empower decision-makers, advocates and actors in their work with local natural waterways?
