LEISURE centres are gearing up for the annual Splash for Cash to raise money for a baby charity.
Babies, toddlers and young children are sponsored to splash the width or length of the pools at Bedale Leisure Centre, Hambleton Leisure Centre, in Northallerton, Stokesley Leisure Centre and Thirsk Swimming Pool.
The money raised will be donated to Tommy's, which funds research into premature birth, stillbirth and miscarriage.
This year will be the biggest splashathon so far with a record 900 pools across the country aiming to raise at least £150,000.
Every participant receives a certificate to mark their achievement and they could win inflatable pool toys.
More information on how to get involved in the effort is available from the swimming pools.
