Make a SPLASH in MARCH and help save the Carterton Indoor Pool!
Members of the CARTERTON INDOOR POOL PROJECT invite swimmers from all around the world to make a splash and participate in the Central ITM Big Swim during MARCH. The event is part of a major community fundraising effort to help save the Carterton Indoor Swimming Pool.
The aim of the CENTRAL ITM Big Swim is to collectively swim a cumulative total of one million metres to raise one million dollars. We're doing this through individual efforts and challenge events, as well as a postal swim, which can be done at any time in March from anywhere in the world.
Please support this fundraiser by helping us get the word out, or even take part yourself, to ensure the Southern Wairarapa community has access to an all year round swimming facility.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
