A splashing good time
Communities came together at their local pools on Sunday for the YMCA Swimathon with the aim of raising money for children and adults with disabilities to learn how to swim.
QPS and QAS officers dived at the chance to be involved, attending the Victoria Point swimming pool where they spent the day interacting with community members and handing out stickers and colouring books to the kids.
Both teams did an amazing job this year raising over $8,000 and volunteering their time to support the cause.

Another highlight of the day was the swimming relay race between the QPS boys and the QAS girls where there was only one condition: everyone had to stay in uniform.
QPS were proudly represented by Senior Watchhouse Officer Nathan Bedford, Constable Pete Johnston, Constable Ryan Curtin and Constable Troy Portus.
The crowd got behind the race cheering on the teams with the QAS ladies floating home to take victory.
The boys in blue have a chance to take the title next year with a rematch already scheduled.
