“Being recognised on a national level like this is incredible.
“There were some really amazing people there such as Dawn Fraser, Jacco Verhaeren (Australian Head Coach), David Lush (Coach of the Year), 2018 Commonwealth Games gold medalists Mitch Larkin and Jack McLoughlin as well as ASCTA president, directors and life members,” Mrs Lanza said.
“But the highlight of the night was hearing Splash Swim School announced as the winner of the Swim Australia SwimSAFER award for our School Swimming and Water Safety Program.”
