I headed to Penrith's Nepean Aquatic Centre and Eva Borys with Member for Lindsay Melissa McIntosh MP to announce a $250,000 grant for AUSTSWIM that will encourage more teachers back into the pool to strengthen skills and save lives. Its program “Creating Jobs, Saving Lives” aims to address a shortage in swim and water safety teachers. The organisation will share in $10.3 million spent on 36 new programs under Sport Australia’s Participation Grant program It was also a pleasure to meet Greg Page, the original yellow Wiggle, who is helping to save lives through his Heart of the Nation campaign.
