Fellow Smugglers,   

This March, Chief Smuggler Linny is attempting to beat Laps for Life Ambassador Ian Thorpe’s Record (as a 10 year old) for the 50m Freestyle while also raising awareness and funds for the important work of Reach Out.   

We’ll give a weekly update on his progress and would love for any of our smugglers out there to join the challenge! His opening time was about 34 seconds which would currently place him at the speed of an 8 year old Thropey but after coaching from the great man himself, Linny is on a quest to break the 30 second mark over the next 3 weeks!  

 How you can be a part of this? 

 Join the Challenge to swim 2km, 10km or 20km this March and raise funds. Nearly $2M has been raised already. This money is going towards preventing youth suicide. 

 Donate directly to the cause & support Linny the battler to take down the great Thropey’s 50m record (... from when he was 10 years old). 

 Grab a pair of Laps for Life Custom Smugglers which are available for pre order now. All profits going to Reach Out.   

Stay tuned for more action on instagram and a special thank you to the Tatterstall Club in Sydney for hosting the coaching session with Ian Thorpe and all the team at Reach Out who are doing incredibly important work.   

We are stoked to be able to contribute in a very small way. 

 The Budgy Smuggler Team.
