Swim instructor aims to increase opportunities for children on remote Lord Howe Island

Lord Howe Island is surrounded by plentiful swimming opportunities in clear waters among tropical reefs, yet for children growing up on the World Heritage-listed isle, access to swimming lessons is limited. "The children of Lord Howe Island have other swim programs available to them, but the only way they can get those programs is through grants which they have to apply for every year," she says. "Two of the students in my class were visiting from Lord Howe Island and their swimming ability was pretty average," she says. "We are raising two children on Lord Howe Island," she says.
