 Vacation swim classes start
Vacswim, the swimming and water safety program for young South Australians, began at a number of centres throughout the region on Monday.

Places in the region where Vacswim is being conducted are the Cambrai pool, Coomandook Area School, Coonalpyn Swimming Centre, East Murray Area School, Geranium Area School, Karoonda Area School, Lameroo Swimming Centre, Mannum High School, Meningie Area School, Murray Bridge Olympic Pool, Swan Reach Area School, Tailem Bend Primary School and Tintinara Area School.
