Over a 150 budding swimmers and water polo players took over the Bunbury South West Aquatic Centre and Busselton Geographe Leisure Centre today, to partake in the first regional clinic of the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series Community Program.

These clinics offer kids in rural Western Australia the opportunity for Olympic Athletes like Travis and Danielle to share the sporting success they have achieved throughout their career, as well as promoting the message that living an active and healthy lifestyle can be achieved through the participation in sports like swimming and water polo.
With the expert assistance of Swimming WA’s Coach Education and Development Coach, Michael Shaw and Water Polo WA’s Competition and Development Manager Tibor Serees, the two hour clinic gave the kids aged between 6-12 a chance to learn the fundamentals of swimming and water polo plus an insight into what it takes to become and Olympic athlete.
The community program aims to reach thousands of young Western Australians, inspiring a new generation of kids to get involved with swimming and water polo.
The BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series Community Program, delivered by Swimming Australia in conjunction with Swimming WA and Water Polo WA, will see a number of past and present high profile athletes embark on a regional tour that will engage rural Western Australians through the BHP Billiton Aquatic Super Series and its sports.
