Children across the shire have grown in water confidence and swimming speed after attending free swimming classes facilitated by local volunteers. Locals Karin Faulkner, Michelle Mycoe and Beth Bartram, along with assistance from Pool Manager Jane Coad, have held swimming lessons every Monday and Wednesday since late 2016 (with a break over the summer holidays).
The voluntary run classes begin prior to Vac Swim each year to give children the confidence they need around water. Over 20 children participate across the two classes, with one class focusing on general technique and water confidence and the other on speed and fitness. Volunteer coach, Karin Faulkner, mentioned that the skill levels of the children have grown exponentially.
This Monday March 27th will be the last swimming lesson for this season with participants completing a fun time trail followed by BBQ dinner. Swimming and water confidence is a great skill to have and is even more essential now Lake Dumbleyung is full. Thanks to Karin, Michelle, Beth and Jane for making these classes available and to all parents who volunteer and assist with time keeping.
