Ngā mihi mahana,
The Carterton Indoor Pool Project Team.
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. 💕🏊♀️🏊🏽♂️🏊🙏
A pleasure to have taken part in this fundraiser even though it was only small part and a BIG thank you to the team who organized this event..👏👏
We've kicked off the CENTRAL ITM Big Swim weekend with the Wairarapa School's Day.

Our CENTRAL ITM Big Swim event total to date is $21,107.
