This Summer Tamworth Regional Council will be delivering the learn to swim program that the Department of Sport and Recreation has traditionally run in Tamworth. For customers there will be very little change. The program will still be Royal Life Saving's successful Swim and Survive program, the venues will remain the same and the dates and times are similar to previous programs.
The great news about the change is season ticket holders will be eligible for a discount for each course.
