How Splash for Cash works?

  1. Choose a swim location

    Select a location from one of the official Splash for Cash venues. If you can’t make one of the official Splash for Cash venues, you can organise to Ingham at any location at a time that suits you.

  2. Go live online

    Register online at www.splashforcash.com.au and set up your fundraising page. Enter as a team or as an individual.

  3. Set your Splash for Cash goals

    Fundraising – How much can you and/or your team raise for RIDBC?

    Swimming – How far can you or your team swim? – Set a swim challenge to aim for on the day.

    You don’t need to be a professional swimmer to participate. Swim 1 lap or 100! You can swim with floaties, flippers or simply freestyle!

  4. Start training and fundraising!

    Donations can be made up until the 1st of May 2012.

  • At your allocated lane a volunteer lap counter will keep count of your laps.
  • Once you have finished swimming, towel off and take your lap count sheet back to the registration desk where your laps will be recorded.
  • Join in the fun of the day! Most venues will have a BBQ and fun activities for the kids. For specific details on activities at each venue check out the venue page for your Splash pool.
