Thank you to all our sponsors for prizes, water and shade. We could not run these events without your support. Many thanks to Tamanu, Aquana and Nambawan Cafe for sponsoring prizes for this event. You help us keep our swimmers and volunteers motivated and happy. A big thank you to BSP and Vila Distribution for providing much needed shade and Azure for ensuring our swimmers and volunteers could beat the heat.
A special thank you to the Australian High Commission in Vanuatu for the donation of pool noodles to all our community outreach programs. These communities have established learn to swim and beginner squad programs over the last 3 years – some of these communities even had swimmers in the Championships today! What an exciting time to be part of swimming, thank you Australian High Commission for helping us build up community sports programs and save lives through water safety education.
