Saltibum is a Brazilian reality competition series broadcast on Rede Globo, based on the Celebrity Splash! format created by Dutch company Eyeworks.

The name Saltibum is a portmanteau of the words Salto (Jump in Portuguese) and Tibum (a Portuguese onomatopoeia for Splash).

The series premiered on April 5, 2014, airing as a one-hour segment during Caldeirão do Huck, hosted by Luciano Huck.[1]

BASC supervisor and BOC member Eduardo Falcão and Olympic athlete Hugo Parisi were judges while Roberto Gonçalves, Andrea Boehme, Cassius Duran and Juliana Veloso mentored the competitors.[2]

On May 22, 2014, Rede Globo renewed the show for a second season.[3]
