THE ROTARY Club of Deloraine 10 day annual free learn to swim program at the Deloraine Pool has just finished. Running for over 40 years in the pool the Rotary Club helped to fund, 71 children completed the course this year.

Mostly aged from 5-7 and up to 14, they were all awarded a certificate at Goldfish, Seahorse or Dolphin level.

With 30 swimmers from Deloraine Primary and 16 home schooled, the majority of the other children came from Mole Creek Primary, Westbury Primary, Hagley Farm School, Our Lady of Mercy and One School Global.

Participants also came from outlying areas such as Dunorlan, Weetah, Chudleigh, Dairy Plains, Golden Valley, Exton, Bracknell, Western Creek, Carrick, Lorinna, Poatina and Sassafras.

Instructors Paul Gambles and Margaret Armour conducted the classes. This year Deloraine Rotary used funds raised at the Tasmanian Craft Fair and was financially assisted by grants from Bendigo Bank, Meander Valley Council and a private donation.
