SWIMMERS are being invited to make a big splash at Waterworld at Monk's Cross this week, as part of a national Splashathon in aid of pregnancy research.

The sponsored swimming challenge is giving tiny tots the chance to raise money for Tommy's Campaign, which helps to fund research into problems during pregnancy such as miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth.

Swimmers can join in the fun again tomorrow, between 10am and 11am.

To register, ring Waterworld on 01904 642162 and collect your sponsorship pack. rospective splashers will receive a free pair of Huggies Little Swimmers to wear on the day.
