The regular event will provide families with an opportunity to visit the centre and enjoy an afternoon filled with music, games, prizes, food and drinks.

Centre manager Steve Clark said the afternoon would include new activities for children.

“The pool party will feature an inflatable tumbling zorb and, for the younger children, a giant inflatable dragon and obstacle course,” he said. 

“Children who come dressed in their footy club’s colours will be eligible for a prize.”

He said he hoped for a big turn-out.

“We have been very successful in previous years,” he said.

“Hopefully we will have similar numbers or more this time.”

The party is a project of the Horsham YMCA community advisory group.

Group chairman Mark Radford said money would be donated to charity.

“YMCA staff will donate their time on the day and money raised will support the Open Doors Foundation,” he said.

“In the past 12 months the Open Doors money has been used to assist with swimming lessons for young people and health and wellness classes for families who could not usually afford to use the facilities.”

Mr Clark said the party would start at 1pm and continue until 4pm.

He said people could call Horsham Aquatic Centre on 5382 2576 for further information.
