<div>Hi everyone!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Water has been a part of my life since I was three years old. Over the years, swimming has become more than just a sport, it has shaped the way I approach challenges, resilience, and personal growth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As an advanced freediver, I’ve learned that mental clarity and preparation are just as important as physical endurance. Recently, I completed a swimming challenge of 6km in 1 hour and 47 minutes, defying what was believed to be possible by many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Challenge: Crossing Lake Geneva this July 11th, 2025
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When I first mentioned my dream of swimming across Lake Geneva, someone told me it wasn’t possible. That doubt only fueled me more. Why shouldn’t it be possible? Who decides what we can or can’t do? I believe in pushing past perceived limits, which is why I committed to serious training and taking part in the Grand Classique organised by the Lake Geneva Swimming Association (LGSA) an organization dedicated to making this crossing safe and structured.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, I’m turning this dream into reality and I need your support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why I’m Raising Funds
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To complete this challenge, I need to cover essential costs, which goes to my participation for the event:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>✔ Safety crews &amp; support boats
</div>
<div>✔ Wetsuits &amp; training gear
</div>
<div>✔ Medical checks &amp; swim camps
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any additional funds will go towards Sport et Solidarité – Fondation pour les Handicapés and the Swiss Paraplegic Group (SPG), two incredible organizations supporting athletes with disabilities. I believe swimming and sports in general should be made accessible for all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This journey isn’t just about me. It’s about proving that with ambition, preparation, and self-belief, anything is possible. I really hope to demonstrate to young people, especially younger girls that what they set their mind to is possible and their dreams are not far out of reach. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for your support, it means the world and I really appreciate your help! ❤️ I will be thinking of you all whilst swimming, as this is not possible without your help.
</div>

Defying Limits: Crossing Leman to inspire the youth

Maria Kolosanova

<div>I am a passionate amateur open water swimmer since 2021. Lake Geneva (lac Léman) has changed my life forever, teaching me open water swimming and cold water swimming. And I feel it is time to show it my love with real acts. You can help me!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Léman is the largest lake in Europe and a natural gem washing the shores of Switzerland and France, home to a fragile ecosystem and a paradise for water sports and leisure. Yet pollution and consequences of climate change haven't spared it, and every year volunteers and professional divers pick out tons (yes, it is not an exaggeration) of garbage from its azure waters. Most of this work is organised by Association pour la sauvegarde du Léman – a Geneva-based association that carries out a vast array of activities including educational excursions for schoolchildren, exhibitions featuring Leman's flora and fauna, conferences, and, of course, Net'Léman, the annual cleaning campaign all around the lake featuring volunteers and professionals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Léman has inspired me to discover what is becoming my lifelong passion for open water swimming, the year round, and to constantly improve my swimming skills. This August I am taking on a milestone challenge: I am swimming from Nyon (Swiss shore) to Yvoire (French shore), a 7 km stretch across the lake, with the support and security provided by Lake Geneva Swimming Association. I've been preparing and testing myself and I feel ready.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I want to swim with a purpose: to collect CHF 3'000 for Association pour la sauvegarde du Léman to support their work and show my love for this incredibly beautiful lake that makes me thankful for every day lived on its shores. I believe solidarity and small actions can make a difference. Are you with me?
</div>
