Help shape our future

Swimming Victoria is committed to the inclusion of all under-represented groups in the sport, and, as part of this we are developing a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).

The RAP aims to bring the swimming and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities together to strengthen and celebrate cultural identity.

We are seeking interest from two members of the swimming community to be involved as part of a Working Group to develop the inaugural RAP.

This will be a very exciting but not time onerous commitment (approximately 6 hours per year).

Be part of SV’s history!
For further information or to express your interest please contact Kathy Tessier on 0418 995 986 or kathy.tessier@swimming.org.au.
