This is your once in a lifetime opportunity to swim in the Amsterdam canals and craft some fin-tastic puns. We've created a team to participate in the [Amsterdam City Swim](https://www.amsterdamcityswim.nl/), and we’d love for you to join the [GraphQL Stream Team](https://www.amsterdamcityswim.nl/teams/graphql-stream-team) on Sunday, September 7th! + +**Why We're Swimming** + +The Amsterdam City Swim isn’t just a unique athletic event—it’s a powerful fundraiser supporting research into ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a devastating neurological disease that still has no cure. Every stroke we take helps raise money and awareness, and contributes to the ongoing fight against ALS. + +As developers, technologists, and open source enthusiasts, we often work together to solve complex problems. Now, we’re channeling that same energy into something beyond our everyday work—supporting a cause that impacts lives around the world. Our goal is to raise €2,500. + +**Who Can Join?** + +Anyone is welcome, even if you aren’t able to attend GraphQLConf! All you need is a swimsuit/wetsuit and goggles. Whether you're a seasoned swimmer or just in it for the adventure, we want you. **There are two different distance options - 750m + 2.25 km.** + +**Not a Fish?** + +We love a fan club! We’ll arrange a meetup spot for spectators and a post-swim soiree. + +**Ready to Take the Plunge?** + +* Sign up for our team: [GraphQLConf Stream Team](https://www.amsterdamcityswim.nl/teams/graphql-stream-team) +* Make a [donation](https://www.amsterdamcityswim.nl/teams/graphql-stream-team/donate) +* Spread the word: Invite your colleagues, friends, and family +* Pack your swim gear for Amsterdam! + +**Let’s Make a Splash** + +GraphQLConf 2025 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable event.
