Help Send Cochrane’s Water Ninjas to Represent Canada

In 2025, the Commonwealth Lifesaving Championships will bring together top athletes from across the globe to compete in Swansea, Wales—showcasing not just elite performance, but the lifesaving skills that make this sport unlike any other. Team Canada is sending just 20 athletes, and five of them come from right here in Cochrane, proudly training as part of the Water Ninjas Lifesaving Club.

We’re reaching out to you—our community, friends, and supporters—to help make this incredible opportunity possible.

Our fundraising goal is $25,000, which covers $5,000 per athlete for essential travel, accommodations, meals, and competition fees.

This does not include the cost of racing equipment, uniforms, or the intensive training these athletes commit to in preparation for international competition.

Every dollar counts. Whether it's $10 or $1,000, your support helps these young athletes train, travel, and compete at the highest level while representing both Cochrane and Canada with pride.

But this isn’t just about medals.

Lifesaving sport is the only internationally recognized sport with a humanitarian mission—equipping athletes with the skills to protect and save lives. Through demanding pool and open-water events, competitors simulate real-world rescues with manikins, rescue tubes, fins, and more. These athletes are not just racing—they’re preparing to serve their communities for life.

Your support brings us one step closer to:

Let’s rally behind these Water Ninjas and show the world the strength of Canadian heart and community spirit.
