Zoggs Oceans of Fun

In an effort to get even more children adopting a healthy lifestyle and involved in aquatic sports, leading Australian swimwear brand Zoggs are delighted to announce that their hugely popular Oceans of Fun days will continue throughout 2013 and on into 2014.

The brand is once again teaming up with Total Swimming, set up by Olympian Steve Parry, to run another series of events across the country providing up to 150 FREE spaces (at each event) for kids aged 7 to 14 years old to experience different aquatic sports from mini water polo, synchronised swimming and fast swimming.

The event will feature a morning or afternoon of skills and games across the different aquatic disciplines, with every participant getting the chance to try each of the activities by rotating through the stations. Each station will be led by an Olympic or Commonwealth athlete, an expert in the discipline, who will provide instruction and encourage the children.  The athletes will be introduced at the beginning of the event and the children (and their families) will have the opportunity to meet the Olympians outside of the pool for autographs, photos and the showing of Olympic and Commonwealth medals.  Each child will receive a Zoggs Oceans of Fun swimming hat and be presented with a medal at the end of the event – after having the chance to race against an Olympian!

Steve Parry said: “We are really excited to have teamed up with Zoggs to run this series of Zoggs Oceans of Fun Days.  Zoggs is a swim brand with a real passion for swimming and, by using role models in the form of Olympic and Commonwealth athletes, we hope to inspire, motivate and educate young people who will have the chance to come along and take part in these events for free”.

“They will not only learn a huge amount at these events but get a once in a lifetime chance to swim against a top athlete and, we hope, begin to understand the benefits, and enjoyment, of adopting an active and healthy lifestyle”.
