The Challenge
Swim4Kids” was developed with the idea of helping the kids of the Royal Children’s Hospital. It is a 100 km “tag team” swim from Seaworld on the Gold Coast to the Breakfast Creek Hotel in Brisbane. The swim begins on Thursday 16th October and will reach the Breakfast Creek Hotel on the morning of Sunday 19th October. Swimmers will complete a 1 km leg and hand over to the next swimmer. Each swimmer actively raises funds by getting people to sponsor their leg and all proceeds of the Swim4Kids event goes to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
