Last year Council made the decision to waive $1 million of fees and charges within the current financial year to help businesses, organisations and individuals recover from the financial impacts of COVID-19. Of this amount, $40,000 has been set aside for community members who are experiencing financial hardship and would struggle to pay for swimming lessons.
Swimming lessons are both fun and educational and swimming is an important life skill, especially for a coastal community. We can help more people access swimming lessons at Yawa and Pelican Park aquatic centres by providing financial support.
What’s included?
- Weekly swim lesson
- Student access to aquatic spaces to practise skills, outside of lesson times
- Lessons available until 30 June 2022.
