Fight4Balance is very happy to invite our community of families, schools and corporate suppoerters to join our charity’s annual community immersion event to promote disability awareness and inclusion for boys and girls living with functional & intellectual disabilities (our All-Stars). 

This is a private event with the pool complex closed to the public.  Guests are asked to give a $5 donation upon entry to the complex, which includes a sausage sizzle.

The event has grown from last year with several new fun activities added.  The highlights being: (2) new 50x50m swim relay team events in the 25m pool, and paddleboard challenges races in the 50m pool.  Of course, families are welcome to simply chill out around the complex grounds and enjoy the events and fun. 

We are very excited to confirm a number of current/past Olympic/Paralympic/World/National swimming champions will be participating in a ‘20x50m’ match race against the clock with our corporate supporters doubling their donation, if our champions are successful ??

We also invite any All-Stars (our youth with disabilities) ages 10-25yrs who feel comfortable and confident in the pool to join our champions in a F4B All-Stars Green Relay Team.

We have already received confirmation from several of our local supporting schools and business to participate in the Green and Gold swim relay events, so be quick to enter your team, as we have room for a maximum of 10 teams per each relay event!

All guests must pre-register their interest to reserve a ticket via the links in the attached Flyers, as we are capping our total guest numbers on the day.

Volunteers

*There are a number of tasks to do on the day for those who wish to get involved and volunteer behind the scenes which we happily acquit against volunteer community service hours for students from our growing army of supporting mainstream schools where are F4B Buddies are recruited.  Please contact our charity at admin@fight4balance.org.au if you would like register as a volunteer.

School & Corporate Marquees

As with previous years, we invite our growing army of supporting schools and companies to supply a 3x3m or 3x6m branded marquee to set up around the pool deck.  It has meant a lot to the families and students who have supported this event in previous years to see their school logo flying high amongst the other Marquees.  Please contact admin@fight4balance.org.au if you wish to know more.
