The Birmingham Water Festival is a gala run by the Birmingham SAG – for children aged 8, 9 and 10 who have not done galas before. For 8’s this will be their first taste of the action – there are no cutoff times for 8 year olds. For 9’s and 10’s – this is for children who have not swum through the Diddy galas, or been to Open Meets.
Please let us know asap if you would like to be involved – bring your completed form back asap.
Pictured – last years Beeches Canon from the Water festival – made up entirely of 8 year olds – they all did amazingly well.
