WHAT IS AQUASPLASH?

Aquasplash is an aquatic festival aimed at 5-11 year olds and is designed to cater for both non-swimmers and swimmers. It is based upon recognising and celebrating the skills achieved at swimming lessons and is a fun, inclusive, multi-skill activity designed to encourage young people to:

• demonstrate their skills as individuals and teams.
  
• experience a fun based festival in a co-ordinated environment.
  
• be signposted to other aquatic activities in the community.
  

INTRODUCTION TO THE RESOURCE

The Aquasplash Festival resource is designed to assist festival organisers in planning and delivering an aquatic festival. The information contained within this resource, is designed for both experienced and non-experienced aquatic organisers, is practical, provides templates, ideas, plus additional guidance on how to include young people with a disability. Using good practice from this guide, it will be down to the Aquasplash Festival organiser to bring this resource to life and to share the successes and lessons learnt with other Aquasplash Festival organisers.
