Our annual school holiday program this year has been revitalized with Bendigo Bank coming on board as a major supporter.

Thanks to support from Bendigo Bank and NSW Government, we can continue running programs in regional and remote communities across NSW.

From Coonabarabran to Howlong and as far north to Lightning Ridge, children from close to 40 regional centres will learn how to safely enjoy the water this summer.

SwimVAC is our swimming and water safety program that runs over either 5 or 10 days over the Christmas school holidays. Aligned to the National Swimming and Water Safety Framework, SwimVAC aims to teach swimming and personal safety skills to children of all skill abilities, helping them reach national benchmarks.

Although some classes started this week, it’s not too late to get involved with some facilities still accepting bookings:

• Ashford Pool

• Coffs Harbour Aquatic Centre

• Henty War Memorial Swimming Pool

• Quandialla Pool
