Uncle Tobys launches campaign to teach kids to swim
Uncle Tobys and the Royal Life Saving Society Australia have launched “Operation 10,000” to help under privileged kids learn to swim.
The campaign, part of the organisations’ joint foundation Swim Kids, aims to provide 10,000 less fortunate kids with free swim and survive lessons in 2012.
Uncle Tobys brand ambassador Grant Hackett features in a long form documentary that tells the story of Charbel, a six year-old boy afraid of the water who learns to swim. The documentary has been cut down to a TV spot.
The Swim Kids Facebook page will also call on its 40,000 members to use a profile picture application that places goggles over its users’ photos.
Great idea and beautifully shot, keep an eye on Danny Robson and Toby Morris!

I thought swimming was compulsory for all primary kids
Food enjoyment? Brand linkage? 30 Sec TV spot that can be turned into print and online?
Non of the above, and its a great piece. Good work UT and the agency.
