IT was pink or swim at the Metrodome when the water park hosted the launch of the countdown to Barnsley’s first ever Race for Life.

Cancer Research UK hosted the pink pool party last Thursday where the water was coloured pink for the day.

The event also featured a DJ playing hits from the poolside.

The idea was to help encourage people and families to sign up for Race for Life which is coming to Locke Park on July 4.
