Minister for Sport and Racing and Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander said the Crisafulli Government was backing Queensland families by helping ease the cost of swimming lessons.
“We know cost of living is a real concern for Queensland families, and we don’t want cost to be a barrier to children learning these important skills,” Minister Mander said.
“Swimming is an important part of Queensland’s lifestyle, and this is about giving more young Queenslanders an early start in the pool so they can build confidence and develop important water safety skills.
“From the city to the country, we want more Queensland families to have the opportunity to get their little ones into swimming lessons.”
