Swim4Kids 2010 22-23 October

The Challenge

Swim4Kids is a tag team swimming event. Swimming in a purpose built cage behind Tangalooma’s number one boat, 2010’s swim will start from Brisbane on Friday 22nd October and head out to Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort. Swimmers will enjoy an all inclusive beach party and accommodation at the resort, before gearing up the next morning to swim back to the Breakfast Creek Hotel on 23rd October and a grand finale party.

Each swimmer swims roughly 1 km in the cage, and can take part individually or in a team of three. Before and after their swim, they will enjoy a scenic cruise and hospitality on board Tangalooma’s jet cruiser ferries following the relay – a fantastic day on the water at the height of whale watching season.

Individual swimmers must raise a minimum of $1,500.00 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation to take part, with teams of three needing to raise a minimum of $3,000.00 collectively.

In its 4th year, this unique event brings together Brisbane’s community and corporate to help work wonders for sick kids. Back again this year, Tangalooma island Resort are ensuring that this is a once in a lifetime adventure.

2010’s event aims to be our most successful event yet!!!
