We chat with Duke4Sport partner, Swimming W.A

June 16, 2022

Swimming W.A recently came on board as a Duke4Sport partner last year. Seeing the benefit of giving their Swimming Clubs the opportunity to start delivering the Award directly to their swimmers, they have given many young people the opportunity to complete their Award where there are no school Award Centres available to them.

We are excited to start working with Swimming WA to support any clubs who wish to become Award Centres to continue to deliver The Award to more young people in WA.
