🎉💦 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR ONE & ONLY SWIM TEACHER! 💦🎉

Today we’re celebrating the lady who wears just about every hat at the Blackall Aquatic Centre — our Learn to Swim teacher, organiser, problem solver and the familiar face you’ll often find anywhere you go! 🏊‍♀️💙

From teaching our littlest swimmers to become confident in the water, to keeping the patrons fed with hot chips and coffees on Sundays and making sure there’s always something happening for our community, Amy puts so much time, energy and heart into the Aquatic Centre. 🥰

We hope today brings a little less organising, a little more relaxing, and plenty of birthday cake! 🎂🥳

Happy Birthday, Amy! We hope you have an absolutely wonderful day! 💦🩵🎉

Love from your Blackall Aquatic Centre family! 🏊‍♀️
