Why Swim Unity Matters
The program fosters a sense of unity among women from diverse backgrounds by combining swimming instruction with cultural exchanges. Participants not only learn life-saving swimming techniques but also engage in a shared experience with others. This approach helps break down cultural barriers, creating a stronger and more connected community.
Swimming lessons have always been offered at Maribyrnong Aquatic Centre for the community, the Swim Unity program recognises the importance of continuing to find opportunities to make water safety education more accessible and culturally relevant.
