- "It means a lot to be a part of an organization and an event that is really making a difference in the lives of people, especially children, who are often overlooked even though they are in one of the most beautiful surfing and swimming destinations in the world" - world record holder Jessica Hardy
- "SurfAid International shares my passion for the ocean and giving back. I look forward to participating in Swim4Humanity 2010 and working with SurfAid on other fundraising initiatives through swimming such as swim clinics and possible ocean swim events" - American open water swimmer Fran Crippen
- "I encourage people to sign up for Swim4Humanity and help fundraise with us! Together we can make the world a better place by stopping the needless suffering of children and families in these isolated communities, and we get to help with this great work through participating in the sports we love - swimming and surfing" - Olympic bronze medalist Caroline Burckle
- "This event was a great success last year raising over $60,000 and we hope to raise over $100,000 this year to support our health and nutrition, water and sanitation, and emergency preparedness programs in Indonesia" - SurfAid International, USA director Javier Guerrero
