The Portland Swimming Club is beyond excited to be the recipient of the Glenelg Shire Council Round 2 2024-25 Community Grants Program.
The funds from this grant combined with funds raised in our Easter Raffle, will enable the club to purchase the recommended PA announcement sound system suitably equipped for use at our annual swim meet and other future poolside events.
Once it is up and running, it will benefit our local community as Portland Swimming Club provides essential equipment for the successful running of swim meets for our local schools both at a local and district level.
Being able to access this community grant brings our club one step closer to our upgrades of essential equipment that enable us to effectively run meets inline with bigger clubs and locations around our area. It also highlights Portland Swimming Club as an opportune place to hold bigger meets by other organisations such as the Barwon South West District Association’s championships. Eventually if we are able to upgrade our diving blocks we may even have an opportunity to hold Victorian level Country championship meets, showcasing our swimming club but also our beautiful town and region. It is our hope that with these upgrades we will have opportunities to do this again.
Thankyou once again to the Glenelg Shire Council for this Community grant and for supporting our growing club.
