CONGRATULATIONS to the Maryborough Aquatic Centre for winning the AUSTSWIM State and National awards for best large swim centre!

The awards are recognition of the hardwork and dedication of the staff who have had to contend with COVID-19 shutting the pools and then having to rebuild after the floods this year.

There has been a 15 percent increase in attendance numbers across the swim classes since the pool reopened in June.

“I think that really shows that the community has confidence in the instructors, and the staff at the centre are liked and well respected,” Fraser Coast Regional Council CEO Ken Diehm said.

The AUSTSWIM award is the premier award presented to facilities and individuals in Australia that achieve the highest standards of aquatic education excellence.

“The awards mean a lot to staff and is fantastic recognition of the hard work that they have put in to pick themselves up and rebuild.”
