    A massive thanks to everyone who generously donated to our fundraising effort to help save the pool. Your support helped us raise $4546.80 and a combined total of over $42,000 after swimming a total of 111kms which was over our goal of 100km for the month. We couldn't have achieved this without your kindness and generosity. Thank you for helping us make a splash!!

    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. 💕🏊‍♀️🏊🏽‍♂️🏊🙏

    As we approach the end of the month and our fundraising venture comes to an end, we are currently sitting at 96km of our 100km goal! 11 of us are pounding the pool daily to get to the end, help us to get over the line with anything you can manage! We are nearly there!!!

    Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.

  • 5 days in and 37.5kms down!

      9 March 2024

    We are definitely on track to getting our 100kms done this month. Thanks for all the donations and tautoko so far. Seeing the messages and donations of support roll in has kept the Geange Train moving this week. 37.5kms down and we are definitely keeping one another accountable.

    Tomorrow we are all attending The ITM Big swim in Carterton where we will all be getting some laps done which will give us some mileage under our belt, so keep sharing and donating if you can.

    Will keep you all updated tomorrow and each week with our progress.

    Grateful for everyone cheering us on! 💓
