Tatura swimming event a splashing success

Tatura locals Joseph Conte, Alicia Wiffen, Scott Montgomery and Jill Clapperton completed 100 laps individually — while several teams of family and friends combined their efforts to complete the challenge.

Aquamoves centre manager Liliana Angeles said the event continued to demonstrate the strong community spirit that existed across the region.

“The 100 Lap Challenge is a wonderful example of our community coming together to support important local services like Tatura Hospital and Parkvilla,” she said.

“It is great to see swimmers of all ages getting involved at the Tatura swimming pool and supporting such a meaningful cause.”

Tatura local and event volunteer Gary Whyte said the turnout and enthusiasm from participants and supporters was inspiring.

“It is fantastic to see the community come together each year to support Tatura Hospital and Parkvilla,” he said.

“The 100 Lap Challenge continues to show how much people care about these important local services and the role they play in the Tatura community.”

The next 100 Lap Challenge will take place on February 27, 2027.
