Frequently Asked Questions
The Challenge
What is LAP it UP?
LAP it UP is a fitness and fundraising challenge to swim laps for youth mental health awareness and suicide prevention in rural and regional communities.
LAP it UP promotes a healthy mind and body and brings communities together to celebrate our personal best both in the water (by swimming laps) and out of the water (by raising funds for Youth Live4Life).
When & where is LAP it UP?
LAP it UP runs over 15 days from 1—15 October 2023. You can choose to swim in your local public pool, in your backyard pool or even in the ocean!
You can also choose to be part of the in-person celebrations on the very last day of the event, at the Kyneton Toyota Sports & Aquatic Centre on Sunday 15 October 2023 between 9am—1pm.
How long is a lap?
Make your laps as long or short as you like by swimming in the ocean, in a 50 metre Olympic-style pool or even a wading pool in your backyard! As long as you're moving, making a splash & counting your laps – you're in!
How much does it cost to register?
It’s completely FREE to register!
How do I join a team?
You can join a team by clicking on the ‘Join Us’ button on the team’s fundraising page. If the team is set to a private status, you will need to ask the team leader or captain to send you an invite.

The funds that I raise – where do they go?
