Thousands of Victorian children will be safer around the water thanks to a Victorian Government-funded program that created hundreds of new swim teacher roles.
The Victorian Government provided $3.4 million for the inclusive employment program, which placed over 380 new swim teacher roles in pools and leisure centres around the state.
