Students from Eskdale School have been enjoying free swimming lessons at the Hawke’s Bay Regional Aquatic Centre.

Many local facilities are offering activities outside the classroom for those unable to return to school due to damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.

“We reached out to Eskdale School and offered these free swimming lessons, which they could use to fill up some of the curricular time, given that they can’t use the school,” said Greg Howie, commercial and partnerships manager of the Hawke’s Bay Community Fitness Centre Trust (HBCFCT).

Eskdale School teacher Bryony Lovatt said it’s been a great experience for the students.
