VACSWIM

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. Will the government be agreeing to the YMCA's suggestion to change the VACSWIM dates, which would be to the detriment of the Royal Life Saving Society and, if so, why?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport) (15:04): I will be working with both groups to work out what the best outcome is for all people—the people who are involved in VACSWIM, that very important training for people who learn so much over the summer holidays (and I know plenty of people here would have had their own children involved), and also to work with the YMCA and have a look at whatever suggestion they may have as well, to come up with the best possible outcome.

Mr Venning: Do you swim?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL: Yes I swim, a couple of times every week, thanks very much, member for Schubert.

The SPEAKER: Well, that interjection just lost a question.
