Kwinana Recquatic's swim school has been recognised nationally at the Australian Swim Schools Association Awards on the Gold Coast.
The swim school was named National Swim School of the Year for its category of under 1000 lessons weekly.
It currently supports more than 6300 enrolments from babies to seniors and those with additional needs.
The swim school’s Specialised Access Inclusion Lessons (SAIL) program also won the Regional (WA) Award for Inclusive Swim School making it a national finalist for its tailored one-on-one swimming lessons designed around the goal and abilities of each participant.
Mayor Peter Feasey said the SAIL program developed by Recquatic had become a model for inclusive aquatic education and with the support of Royal Life Saving WA, was now being introduced at other centres across the state.
“This national recognition reflects the City’s commitment to providing high-quality, accessible and inclusive swimming education for the local community,” Mayor Feasey said.
“It recognises the dedication, passion and professionalism of our Swim School team who make a real difference in people’s lives to help build their confidence and develop life-saving water skills while being active in our community.
“As our community continues to grow, it is clear families trust the Kwinana Recquatic for their swimming lessons so this award belongs not only to our staff but to the thousands of students and families who are part of our swim school community.”
