Learning to swim is a vital life skill, so it was a big thrill to see funding announced last week to help children in Narromine and surrounding towns get access to a dedicated facility to encourage safe swimming. A new purpose-built learn-to-swim pool will be built at Narromine Aquatic Centre, thanks to $300,000 in NSW Government funding. My good friend and colleague Paul Toole made the announcement on a trip to the region last Friday, with the funding coming as part of the ClubGrants program that is overseen as part of his ministry. We all know how precious our children are, and this is a great investment that will enhance water safety access  for future generations in the Narromine community and outlying communities.
