A TAYLORS Lakes swim school is making waves with a new swimming program to help children with cystic fibrosis.
Paul Sadler Swimland has joined forces with Cystic Fibrosis Victoria to introduce ’CFV Kids Swimming Lesson Program’ to their pools.
The program is set to financially assist families and ensure children living with cystic fibrosis are enrolled into life-saving swimming lessons.
Manager of Paul Sadler Swimland Taylors Lakes and swim teacher Ebony Matthews hoped more local families would take advantage of the program.
“I think it’s important for families with kids with cystic fibrosis to take up this offer because swimming has a huge range of health benefits for the kids,” Ms Mathews said.
“And its important for us to be able to offer the discount to families and give them the financial support to provide something that has such great health benefits,” she said.
Swimming has been recognised as helping children with cystic fibrosis.
The partnership between the Swimland and Cystic Fibrosis Victoria acknowledged that swimming was particularly good for developing lung capacity and maintaining cardiopulmonary fitness, which could slow the progression of the condition.
And swimming also helped to maintain bone density and general well-being, which was also of great importance for people with cystic fibrosis.
The initiative will see families offered a 50 per cent discount when enrolling their children in swim lessons.
