Altona Swimming Club

 Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Health Infrastructure, Minister for Prevention of Family Violence) (10:05): Finally, I would like to thank Mark Gowans, the president of Altona Swimming Club, for hosting me at Bayfit Leisure Centre to learn more about the club’s volunteer-run Sunday club program. The Sunday club provides local families and school-aged children with the opportunity to improve their fitness, develop their swimming skills and learn to race and compete in a supportive and welcoming environment. They meet twice a month, and the program helps young people to build confidence, develop friendships and connect with others who share their interests right across our community.
