Fight4Balance is excited to invite our community of families, schools and corporate supporters to join our charity’s inaugural LANE 8 End-of-Season Multiclass Race Swim Carnival to promote inclusion and diversity.

This is our first Multiclass Swimming Carnival to provide equal access to young people living with physical, cognitive & sensory disorders (our F4B AllStars) with the opportunity to develop their racing skills and connect with their local community in an adaptive and supportive environment. This event is open to all aspiring competitive multiclass (MC) swimmers across Brisbane with a mild-moderate disability. 

LANE 8 Mission

• gain valuable racing experience in a supportive environment
• build confidence and inclusion through shared participation
• enjoy new social connections and a sense of belonging
