Can We Splash?

encouraging families to take those first steps into swimming together.

Can We Splash? is a book about children’s swimming.

It follows Mo, his sister Yas and the fun they had with their Dad, on a trip to a Nottingham leisure centre.

“It’s Saturday morning for Dad, Yas, and Mo.
It’s raining. It’s boring. But Dad knows where to go.”

Working in partnership with organisations across the city to distribute copies of Mo’s adventure, we’re ensuring that everyone, including hard-to-reach families, can read Mo’s story and be inspired to have some swimming fun of their own.

Mo's story is currently being distributed so following our official launch on 16 May, you'll be able to JUMP IN and pick up your copy from.....
