20 past and present AIS swimmers will do their part for the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal on Saturday 22 January at the Dickson Pool in Canberra.

From 1.303pm some of Australia’s swimming stars including Alicia Coutts, Felicity Galvez, Ashley Delaney and Cam Prosser will conduct swimming lessons and pass on their knowledge and experience to children of all ages.
