BIG SPLASH Visit
www.bigsplash.co.uk
to fi nd your local pool and get started!
our recommendation is to get in the water with your kids and have some fun! In addition to all the great health benefi ts, swim- ming is also the only sport that could save your life. Drowning is the third most common cause of acciden- tal death in children, so making sure your brood feel confi dent in and around the water is vital. Being able to swim opens up a whole host of fabulous water based activities for your kids - if they’re water wise they can have a go at anything from sailing to surfi ng, water raft- ing to water polo. The Big Splash website can provide information on where you can sign your children up for swimming lessons to make sure they know all about water safety as well as having fun and keeping healthy.
OLYMPIC INSPIRATION Just in case you hadn’t heard, 2012 is the year that the world’s biggest sporting competition
comes to London! The London Olympics will showcase our Team GB swimmers to the whole world and we hope they will inspire the nation to get in the water. Some of the biggest names in swimming such as Keri-Anne Payne, Rebecca Addlington and James Goddard are behind the Big Splash campaign.
Olympic swimmer and Commonwealth record
holder, James Goddard said: “Kids love swimming and it’s great to swim as a family. I love taking my daughter Evie to the pool, to have a splash around and watch her confi dence grow in the water. Swimming has been a massive part of my life so it’s wonderful to be able to share it with her. The Big Splash is about getting more people swimming and I’m 100% behind it and I hope that together with the Olympics, more people will make swimming a part of their life.”
Here you will fi nd information on all the great activities that are available for all of your family.
Why not take your children along to a play session or sign up for a family team challenge to take on Trunx, the Big Splash mascots?
