Current infrastructure is over 50 years old, and would require major refurbishment to bring it up to a level of modernity that is expected in this day and age.
The spotlight has been on the number of recent drowning deaths in not only Victoria, but nationwide. Facilities need to be available to encourage participation in swimming. Competitive swimming meets are another use that the Rural City will benefit from; please consider the application for a grant favourably to enable regional residents the opportunity to access modern, high level facilities. Thank you.

It means long course and short course competitions can be held regionally. Wangaratta SC is Swimming Victoria as well as a Masters club - The club caters for swimmers of all ages and abilities.

The current indoor pool is used extensively & it is great to see a number of swimming club tournaments happening in the 25m pool. It would be great to see even more use over the warmer months of a 50m pool. I have spent a year in Melbourne swimming in a 50m pool, it was lovely & I think many Wangaratta lap swimmers will love it. The aquatic centre is in a beautiful location & is a great way to show off our city. There will be extensive financial benefits when whole clubs & families come to stay.

The old pools are extremely run down and have been inadequate for a number of years. For a regional city the size of Wangaratta, for the children and young people and a very large ageing population, an appropriate aquatic facility needs to be built.

1. With relations in Wangaratta we periodically visit pools.
2. My family competes in swimming Victoria competitions. The extreme age of pools in rural areas means that technologies and outdated pool design makes times more difficult to ratify.

Also a safe place for children to grow and develop somewhere to play and be with their friends. An aquatic centre should also have the best possible competition resources as this offers a pathway for children keen to pursue their sport and this provides a venue to support high level competition bringing income to the venue and to the local area with influx of visitors.

From time to time the Corowa Swim Club, for whom I coach, has also used the indoor facility at Wangaratta to run winter coaching. Pool space is always at a premium as the pool is also used by Yarrawonga and Wangaratta swim clubs. The outdoor facility desperately needs updating and it would be ideal to have it moved to be near the indoor pool at the Barr Reserve sporting precinct. The current location is awkward to access and the facilities are reminiscent of the 1950's - and not in a good way! Our local competition run by the Ovens and Murray Swimming District of which my Club, Yarrawonga and Wangaratta clubs are members has historically used Wangaratta pools for meet events and development squads. This district also includes 5 clubs from the Albury/Wodonga area and many smaller clubs from the Alpine region and Rutherglen/Chiltern area. I have also spent some time training as a swim teacher at Wangaratta indoor pool and noticed that it is with difficulty that the YMCA staff manage to cover the needs of both pools which are pretty much at the opposite sides of town.

A town the size of Wangaratta, being a major regional centre, has a high demand for a suitable facility as a replacement for the existing pool, as it can no longer be used for the purpose it was originally intended.
