With the beach and pool season in full swing, the Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre is offering half price swim lessons for children.
Minister for Multicultural Affair and Citizenship Nicholas Kotsiras invites families from Maribyrnong’s multicultural families to sign up their children for the VICSWIM Summer Kidz Program.
Mr Kotsiras encouraged families to sign their children quickly as places are filling up fast. He added that swimming is very much part of the Australian summer pastime and “learn-to-swim programs like VICSWIM help prevent Victorians especially younger children from drowning while making swimming a fun exercise.”
“It is important all parents encourage their children to learn how to swim as it may one day save their lives,” Mr Kotsiras said.
Enrolments are still accepted for Week 2 (until Monday 9 January) and Week 3 (until Monday 16 Janruary). For more information about the program, and to enrol, please visit www.vicswim.com.au
