YOUNG people in Macarthur with cystic fibrosis can be in no doubt that their whole community is behind them.

Last Saturday’s Swimathon for Cystic Fibrosis raised a whopping $83,000 — and counting — to help fund research and provide support for sufferers of the disease, which clogs the lungs and digestive system with mucus.

Penny Free of Elderslie, whose 12-year-old daughter Julia has CF, said she was speechless when she found out how much money had been raised. Mrs Free said the event showed kids with CF that they’ve got a whole community behind them,” she said. “There’s a lot of people out there who care about them and want to support them.”

 

NSW Sport Minister Graham Annesley opened the swim and other local MPs donned their swimmers.

Committee member Michelle Fenech thanked James Barnes and the team at Wollondilly Community Leisure Centre, the team at Lifehouse Church Camden, Tahmoor Lions Club, Plus Fitness, Sharon’s Photography, Macarthur Castles and Rob Doorey from C91.3.

AS MANY as 500 parents and children a day have been leaving Wollondilly Leisure Centre with big smiles on their faces these school holidays.

Centre manager James Barnes said the leisure centre had hosted a range of exciting and educational activities to keep the kids occupied and the parents happy, such as the pool inflatable and intensive learn-to-swim lessons.

“We’ve had the pool inflatable up in the holidays every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which is free once you pay your entry,” he said.

“We’ve also had great little holiday activities for primary-school aged children, which involves a mix of indoor sports games and pool activities.”

“We are trying to give people something to do other than just swim and splash around, so we always have toys and games out and provide activities.”

The pool inflatable will be in action from 11am Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Entry to the pool is $4.80 adults, $3.70 concession or $14.40 for a family. Details: 4677 1251.
