SPORTY residents are invited to make a splash and raise cash for charity.
Swimathon 2008 will take place at Burntwood Leisure Centre between April 17 to 20.

"It will be lots of fun and a great opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to have a go at a healthy swimming challenge, whilst raising money for a great cause."
