WATER WHEELCHAIRS TO AID SWIMMING PROGRAM

Learning to swim is now much easier for people with a disability, thanks to two new water wheelchairs.

The chairs will aid the Taree and Bellingen YMCA’s SwimAbility program.

The chairs are valued at almost $5,000 and were funded by the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation.
