Quairading Aquatic Club Awarded Community TAB Sports Grant
Racing and Wagering Western Australia’s (RWWA) Community TAB has awarded Quairading Aquatic Club with a $1,000 sports grant.
The club will use the grant to purchase a pace clock to be used during training sessions, which helps swimmers and coaches when completing drills in and out of the pool.
Quairading Aquatic Club President Claire Gelmi said their club unites the community to give children a sense of belonging, with many parents and volunteers contributing.
“The Quairading Aquatic Club aims to equip children with proficient swimming skills, develop fitness and improve their technique in the pool whilst having fun with friends,” Claire said.
“This grant will allow our club to purchase a pace clock that will be used by the swim club and will also be beneficial for the other swimming members in our community, meaning all swimmers can use the pace clock to time their laps and aim to improve their times.”
“Our club is run completely by volunteers, so we appreciate all the hard work each volunteer contributes, and the grant from Community TAB is very much appreciated!”
RWWA Chief Executive Officer Ian Edwards said the organisation recognises the importance of grassroots sport in Western Australia.
“We are honoured to be supporting local sporting clubs to ensure they can continue to play a vital role in their community,” Ian said.
“Grassroots sporting clubs not only provide important benefits for individual wellbeing, but they also bring people from the local community together.”
Applications are now open for all Western Australian sporting clubs, allowing communities from all corners of the State to apply for financial support.
Community TAB will be providing two sporting clubs with a grant each month, with applications able to be submitted here.
