Scout Santa Splash
December 17, 2023 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
Two separate events aimed at all Cubs and Scouts of Sheaf District. It’s Cubs in week 1 and then Scouts in week 2.
Now in it’s 10th year, the 2023 Santa Splash events are a tinsel-tastic hour of pool activities encouraging teamwork and fun. Participants will enjoy Christmas themed games whilst earning points; with the winning teams earning coveted gold medals, presented by a wise man at the end.
Pool time is from 19:00 to 20:00 hrs, but participants need to arrive by 18:30 to receive the briefing and be placed in teams.
… and best of all, in the spirit of giving, there is no charge, the event being fully funded by Sheaf Scout Swimming.
Due to restrictions on headcount, we can accommodate up to six swimmers per group. Depending on how many groups enter teams, we may be able to add more – we’ll let you know.
We will make up teams to keep the numbers per team as even as possible, so if you do not have six swimmers do not worry. We always try to keep Group teams together and may add additional members from other Groups.
- Goggles are permitted but may be barred in specific events for safety reasons
- Qualified Lifeguard cover will be in place throughout the event
IMPORTANT: Entrants must be confident swimmers. We utilise all of the pool so the entrants must be confident to swim/tread water in the deep end, where they can’t touch the bottom. If we judge anyone’s swimming abilities to be too weak we reserve the right to limit them to activities within their depth.
Please can each section attending complete THIS FORM form with participant details and return to Barrie by Saturday 2nd December. Email strongly preferred. We cannot accept ‘on the day’ entries.

PS: Where does Santa swim? The North pool!
