Swimming is a huge part of life in Australia – but what if you can’t swim? In the Central Queensland mining town of Dysart, the public pool is bringing together long-time locals and those born a world away.
High school teacher Adam Kelvin Mhende is swimming for the first time after moving to the town from Zimbabwe- facing his fears with the help of Dysart Swim Centre Manager, Millie.
From athletes to those who’ve never been in a pool before, a growing number of locals are taking to the water thanks to the town’s adult swim program.
