Clear skies keep youngsters in the swim

THE weather could not have been better for the Noosa Aquatic Centre Learn to Swim carnival held on Saturday 5 September.
With an emphasis on participation, 110 happy and fast swimmers took part in the special day – including children from the age of three to 12 years – who put their Learn to Swim skills to the test with some of them competing in their first carnival.
Every participant received a goodie bag packed full of fun and one lucky participant won a brand new mountain bike.
Noosa Aquatic Centre marketing officer Donna Frey said the carnival was a huge success and lots of fun for all, due to the great teamwork from the fabulous swim instructors.
“We have to make a special mention and thanks to our sponsors Le Cyclo Sportif, Swimming Queensland, McDonalds, Tewantin Noosa RSL and Nourish Poolside Cafe, who without them we couldn’t have had such a great day,” she said.
If you would like to enrol in the intensive holiday program or term four for Learn to Swim simply phone 5448 0288 or visit www.noosa.qld.gov.au/nac
