Making a splash
Athens Olympians Grant Hackett, Alice Mills and Travis Nederpelt were at Belair Public School, Admastown Heights, on Monday as part of an innovative country tour.
The aim of the Uncle Tobys Make A Splash tour is to allow people in regional areas the chance to get up close and personal and experience first hand the stars of the pool and touch an Olympic gold medal.
The students at the school shared a breakfast with the trio after winning a competition on NBN Television.
“If we can inspire any kids out there to jump into the pool to stay fit, have fun and also lead a healthy life by starting the day with a healthy breakfast then that’s the perfect outcome,” Hackett said.
