Splash out on Saturday 31 October at the Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre (CISAC) in Bruce, ACT when the centre hosts an Active Family Fun Day from 1pm until 4pm.
Active Family Fun Days are an initiative of Royal Life Saving Society - Australia designed to encourage healthy, active, fun participation for families and children in an aquatic environment. Mums and dads can get into the water with their children and practice water safety techniques in a fun and safe environment.
The Active Family Fun Day will be held in conjunction with the UNCLE TOBYS® Big Splash Swimathon to help raise funds for the Royal Life Saving Society - Australia to reduce child drowning.
Child drowning is still the leading cause of accidental death in children in Australia, with 50 children aged 0-15 drowning in the past year. Teaching children swimming and water safety skills can help protect young lives now and into their future.
UNCLE TOBYS® is proudly working together with the Royal Life Saving Society - Australia to help make a difference and change these statistics.
Commonwealth Gold Medalist and UNCLE TOBYS® Ambassador Jana Pittman will be there on the day to make her Big Splash.
"The UNCLE TOBYS® Big Splash Swimathon is a chance for all of us to support a great cause while being healthy and having fun. We want to reduce child drowning to zero in Australia. To help, join us in making a Big Splash this weekend at the CISAC" said Jana Pittman, UNCLE TOBYS® Ambassador.
The Canberra Labor Club will be presenting a cheque to the Royal Life Saving Society - Australia for the UNCLE TOBYS® Big Splash Swimathon to the value of $35,000 to support the Swim and Survive Drowning Prevention Strategy.
Entry to the Canberra International Sports and Aquatic Centre for the Active Family Fun Day and UNCLE TOBYS Big Splash Swimathon is $2.00.
