Many great efforts were recorded by the swimmers, down at the Nowra Aquatic Centre, during what was a well-run carnival.

Many swimmers will now be looking forward to competing in the Shoalhaven Zone Carnival on Tuesday, February 19 at the Bomaderry Aquatic Centre.

Meanwhile, parents and carers are reminded the Active Kids and Creative Kids program is available for them to use.

Active Kids and Creative Kids are programs designed to encourage more children to participate in sport, active recreation and creative and cultural activities.

Each year, parents, guardians and carers can receive a $100 voucher to go towards both creative and physical activities for school-aged children.

A Creative Kids voucher will help parents to cover some of the registration, participation and tuition costs on activities such as singing, drama, coding, languages, music, writing, drawing and photography.

The Active Kids voucher can be used on sports, fitness and physical activities for registration, participation and membership costs.

The vouchers can be used once with an approved provider and go to http://service.nsw.gov.au to find out more.
