This year Swim4Kids 2013 will be held at Healthstrean QUT swimming pool.

 

Healthstream QUT at Gardens Point pool have joined Swim4Kids this year to enable us to bring in more swimmers to the swim event.

 

Swim4Kids will be held as always in October, but will kick off with a world record attempt on the 1st of October. We will still run the 30ks in 30 days event in October throughout Australia and we are looking to really boost the numbers this year. So Visit your local pool from the 1st October to the 30th October and start swimming as often as you can to reach your 30kms in 30 days.
