Tom Daley auctions off crochet swim trunks for £10,000 after announcing retirement

As a long-time gaming enthusiast and avid follower of Olympic sports, I must admit that Tom Daley has always been a fascinating figure to me. His unique approach to coping with the pressure of competition, as seen in his knitting hobby, is both inspiring and intriguing. However, what truly sets him apart is his dedication to using his platform for good causes.


If you look inside the trunks, there are riches abound…

This past week, renowned diver Tom Daley sold a pair of homemade swimming trunks he created in collaboration with Malibu and the Royal Life Saving Society UK at auction. Although you might find similar trunks on eBay for under 20 pounds, Daley’s unique handcrafted item fetched an impressive £10,000! As an Olympic Silver Medalist representing Great Britain, Daley’s reputation likely boosted the price. Remarkably, all proceeds from the sale of his crocheted trunks will be donated to charity.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase it like this: In the world of Olympians, Daley stands out for his unshakable composure. Just look at the photo above – during competitions, you’ll find me knitting away to keep my cool and stay centered between rounds. At the Paris Olympics, my crochet skills really took off; I even managed to complete an entire sweater! On the side, I run a business that sells handmade goods, using my craft as the main draw. Watching me create outside of the water gives you a glimpse into why I can successfully branch out into other areas!

As a passionate advocate for water safety, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! Daley, Malibu, and the Royal Life Saving Society UK have joined forces to increase awareness about tragic alcohol-related incidents in bodies of water. This collaboration aims to educate the public on responsible drinking habits and water safety. Incredibly, £10,000 raised from Tom’s Trunks will be dedicated to this noble cause. Here’s hoping that this project paves the way for more initiatives that encourage us all to act with greater care and thoughtfulness towards our waterways and each other.

Although Tom Daley’s humanitarian career is just getting started, it’s bittersweet to consider the end of his illustrious diving career for the UK. For devoted fans of this Olympian, stay connected with his business, Made With Love by Tom Daley, via its Instagram page here. Given Daley’s propensity for creativity, it seems likely he’ll keep himself occupied; so, considering jumping on board now lest you miss out!
