Hi, I’m Caleb and I’m 12 years old. 👋
I love open water swimming. When I was 8, I decided to give myself a new challenge every year, and each one has been bigger than the last:
🏊 2022 – 400m pool swim (age 8)
🏊 2023 – 800m pool swim (age 9)
🌊 2024 – Bridgehouse 1.6km dam swim (age 10)
🌊 2025 – Midmar Mile 1.6km dam swim (age 11)
🌊 2025 – Bridgehouse 3.2km dam swim (age 11)
🥶 2026 – Shipwrecked 5km, in just a costume, in 12°C water (age 12)
On Tuesday 20 October (or the closest date from then that conditions are favourable), I’m doing my biggest one ever: the 7.5km Robben Island crossing to Bloubergstrand. 🏝️➡️🏖️ I’ve been training really hard and I’m ready. https://swimops-ten.vercel.app/family/7ce1ff1a395984cbbf3606d2e92280c1
But this year, I’m not just swimming for me.
My aunt Cath was born with an intellectual impairment. She lives in Durban with my gran and has never been able to work...
