GREATER Shepparton City Council is again partnering with ‘This Girl Can – Victoria’ to deliver sessions that empower women to be active and access Council facilities.
After seeking feedback on the program from the Greater Shepparton community in December last year, Council will now host Women Only Swimming sessions more regularly from this Sunday onwards.
Greater Shepparton City Council community director, Louise Mitchell, says the program has had real success in building a supportive community of women who encourage each other to get out and be active.
“We want all women to feel comfortable about physical activity and these sessions give participants an opportunity to focus on and enjoy getting active,” Ms Mitchell said.
“It is our hope that the confidence gained by women during this program will lead to their participation in additional physical activity opportunities on offer in the community.”
Aquamoves program and education coordinator, Liliana Angeles is looking forward to the return of the program. “Our Women Only Swimming program opens the doors to women and girls who may not usually participate in swimming. Watching them relax while having fun with friends and family is one of the best parts of the sessions,” she said.
Women Only Swimming will be held at Aquamoves from 5.30pm to 8.30pm on the first and third Sunday of each month, with access to the centre’s indoor 25m, leisure and hydrotherapy pools, sauna and spas.
