💦 WHAT IS A MANU? 💦

Think you’ve got what it takes to create the BIGGEST splash at GC26? 🌊

The Manu Competition is making waves at the Aqua Blitz, and trust us… you don’t want to miss this one.

So, what exactly is a Manu? 🤔A Manu is a Water Bomb (Splash) created by launching yourself off a platform into the water — with points awarded for:

💥 Splash🔊 Sound😎 Style

There are TWO ways to compete:

🌊 Traditional ManuThe classic! Competitors must enter the water in a V-shaped formation, with the buttocks entering the water first to maximise that splash factor.

🎭 Freestyle ManuAnything goes! Bring your best moves with entries like:🦍 Gorilla📎 Staple⚰️ Coffin🏐 Ball💥 Backslap🎯 Canon-ball😬 Belly Flop…or invent your own signature style!

📋 Rules of the splash zone:✔️ No run-ups✔️ Jump straight out (no sideways launches)✔️ No props (bottles, balls, etc.)✔️ Use the allocated launch platform✔️ Swimwear attire required

At the moment we’ve got 4 females and 12 males signed up — but we know there are plenty more future Manu legends out there!

So while you’re at the Aqua Blitz, make the most of it and register for the GC Games Manu Competition.

🌊 Bring the splash.🔊 Bring the noise.😎 Bring the style.

🚗⚡ Thinking about making the switch to an EV? Now might be the time!

The Australian Government is set to significantly reduce the rebate on electric vehicles delivered after March 2027 — meaning the savings available right now may not be around for much longer.

Don’t wait until the savings disappear — explore your options now and see why so many Australians are making the move to electric. 🔋🚘
