British Swimming is working with local swimming pools to offer a range of activities and resources to help get the nation swimming. The Big Splash seeks to encourage new people into the pool and help those who already swim to have more fun more often.
It is the world's BIGGEST celebration of swimming stretching 10 months.
Get involved today and make a BIG SPLASH!
