The Victorian Connection
Improving physical and mental wellbeing is also the goal of swimming teacher Katrina van Eyk, from Pyramid Hill, who hopes to expand an affordable learn-to-swim program in regional communities, using community swimming pools.
In 2015, Katrina launched an eight-week summer swim school for 15 students through her business, Regional Swim Clinics. The program has now grown to 55 students across two venues, with classes for infants, beginners, intermediate, mini squad, advanced and adults. She also runs school swimming programs for five regional schools, ranging from foundation to year 12 students.
