Nearly 100 people are taking on water-based challenges in Poole Park for a children's charity.
The annual Splash in the Park for Julia's House children's hospice, based in Corfe Mullen, features teams of four to eight people paddling kayaks, using stand-up paddle boards and climbing over inflatable obstacles to raise between £10,000 and £12,000 for the cause which helps children with life-limiting conditions.
Linda Schofield-Green, corporate events manager for Julia's House, said: "We have 12 teams and each team has a kayak for the day and they also go on the obstacle course, which is fun to watch them fall off.
"We also have stand-up paddle boards and water games with water balloons.
"We're really delighted because it rained last year and we have great weather this year.
"It's also a chance to build a relationship with our corporates."
She said that the final challenge involves the top teams completing all four parts of the event in quick succession before the overall winner is announced.
