Learn to swim program
Would you or your children like to learn to swim?
Sport North East and NEMA are wanting to organise a Learn to Swim Program for the CALD community here in Wangaratta.
​
Learning to swim provides a form of low impact exercise that can enhance fitness and reduce stress as well as promote opportunities to connect with others in your community and form social connections.
All swimming lessons will be free – they are fully subsidised by NEMA.
If you are interested in undertaking swimming lessons either for yourself, your family, or other group members, please contact NEMA.
