Students signed up for swimming lessons at Stawell Sports and Aquatic Centre can enjoy free entry to the pool throughout the summer holidays.
Students signed up for lessons by January 16, 2025, will receive free entry for themselves and a parent or guardian until the end of January.
Participants will also receive free access to one of the centre’s intensive swim programs, from January 6 to 10 or January 20 to 24.
Northern Grampians Shire mayor Karen Hyslop encouraged the region’s residents to make the most of the ‘swim for free’ promotion.
“Despite winding up classes for the year, our centre staff are already deep in preparations for 2025,” she said.
“We welcome all new and returning parents to take up this offer. Swimming is a life skill. Learning to swim is not only vital for safety around the water and preventing drowning, it also has a range of physical and mental health benefits.
“Our swimming staff at Stawell Sports and Aquatic Centre are highly regarded and run an excellent program.”
Stawell Sports and Aquatic Centre is Life Saving Victoria’s Swim and Survive Partner of the Year for 2024.
“Not only are we extremely proud of our team and its achievements – so is the governing body for swimming lessons in Victoria,” Cr Hyslop said.
“Your children are in good hands.”
Cr Hyslop encouraged families considering swimming lessons for their children to sign up early to reap the benefits of the ‘swim for free’ offer.
“We already have families taking up this fantastic opportunity,” she said.
“Don’t miss out, give the team a call today for more information – and enjoy a summer in the pool, on us.”
