On 11 October 2025, women across South Africa will unite for Secret Swim 2025, a heartfelt gathering that honours fighters, celebrates survivors, and remembers the brave women who have faced breast cancer.
This year, the event has expanded to 17 venues nationwide, including ocean beaches, dams and pools. It is not about speed or competition but about creating a safe, supportive space for women of all ages to come together.
Participants will only receive the secret location pin at 23:59 on Friday, 10 October, adding a touch of excitement to the experience.
What to Expect on the Day
- 07:30 Registration, temporary tattoos & pre-swim selfies
- 07:45 Welcome talk & safety briefing by ILoveBoobies
- 07:50 Optional topless (from behind) group photo
- 08:00 Dip, swim or bop (your choice)
After the swim, participants are encouraged to enjoy a picnic and hot drinks while soaking in the uplifting atmosphere. Female lifeguards will be on duty, and bag-watchers will ensure belongings are kept safe. Even non-swimmers can take part, as a simple dip is enough to join the cause.
Making an Impact
All funds raised go directly to ILoveBoobies, funding free breast cancer screenings for 1,000 women in underserved communities across South Africa.

Supporters can also shop the official Swim Wear Collection, featuring costumes, Bobums towels, swimming caps, t-shirts and socks. Free shipping is available for orders over R550 to metropolitan areas in South Africa.
