    Thank you to everyone who has swum, aqua walked, dressed up, baked, supported and donated this month. Today is the last day of the CENTRAL ITM Big Swim 10^6. It's been an amazing fundraiser and sooo much fun! It has brought together a community - both near & far. We are still adding up the metres and will be announcing the overall total soon. If you haven't sent your metres in - please email them to kiaora@createasplash.co.nz. To those supporters who have been on the sidelines cheering, timing and encouraging our participants - A BIG THANK YOU, and an even BIGGER THANK YOU to those of you who have donated to save the Carterton Indoor Pool. You have made a community very happy and shown that this pool needs to stay open so that everyone from all over Wairarapa can use it. We may not have reached our audacious goal of One Million dollars, but with your amazing generosity you have given us the seed money to apply for grants to upgrade the pool. THANK YOU. 💕🏊‍♀️🏊🏽‍♂️🏊🙏

    Well on the allotted Thursday I swam 52 lengths before I paused and I was happy. Since then I have continued to keep up the lengths and have continued to swim 1 k (40 lengths) most times. With an odd 800 mts and 500 mts. I have totalled nearly 8000 meters. I know some have swam that amount daily but I’m old, like nearly 80 so I’m pleased with myself. Go the pool, never mind the Wahs.

    Thankyou friends for the wonderful support you’ve given me so here’s an update. I’m fit and well and able to swim a long way so next Thursday is the day. If you’ve been thinking I must support Robin well here’s your time to do it. I know swimming is a great thing to keep you well so I want this pool to be here for another generation of young people. I’ll let you know how it goes next week meantime touch this page and give give give 😀🤪❤️
