Swim Unity
Community Based Initiative of the Year
VIC/TAS
Submission Overview
The Multicultural Women’s Swimming (Swim Unity) initiative addresses barriers and drowning risks for CALD women in Maribyrnong. This free, eight-week program combines culturally safe women-only swimming lessons with behaviour-change strategies to build water safety, confidence, and social connection. Supported by Australian Government funding, Swim Unity removes participation barriers through inclusive delivery, structured lessons, practice time, equipment, and partnerships with community organisations, empowering diverse women to safely engage in aquatic environments.
