Libby Alexander

Libby Alexander is co-founder, CEO and the driving force behind Splash, which teaches under-resourced communities, particularly migrant domestic workers, how to swim. Its free programmes not only provide training that can save lives, but empower women and create community. Many of those who learn to swim with Splash—92 percent of whom graduate from the programme—go on to become coaches within the organisation, while almost all have learnt to swim, float and be comfortable in water, taking away with them skills they can pass on to their families. In 2022, Splash launched a free Learn to Swim video series on YouTube to expand its reach.
