I remember when I first started taking my eldest daughter Beth to swimming classes when she was 4 years old, she was absolutely petrified. She held on to her instructor the entire term. I thought perhaps I shouldn’t put her through such torment for another term. Living in Queensland, we are always surrounded by water. I couldn’t contemplate the thought of Beth drowning because she doesn’t have the necessary skills to save herself, so I persisted with the swimming lessons.

It took a while for her to be comfortable in water and for me to be confident of her swimming abilities to get herself out of trouble. After years of lessons, she is now swimming competitively in Brisbane district competitions and she is currently this year’s Swimming Age Champion.

On 10th May 2021, Beth will be trying to help raise funds for End Poverty Queensland in a Swim-a-thon. She will be swimming 40 laps in a 25-metre pool. Interested in encouraging her? You can sponsor her directly. All funds raised will go towards providing emergency food relief to at risk members of our community. Online, cash and contactless donations are accepted.
