Letter to Members (COVID-19)

Dear LIWA Aquatics member, Re: Coronavirus (COVID-19) As you have heard many times before, these are unprecedented times. The order from Government to close all swimming pools was an enormous one for our industry, not just financially but social wellbeing for members, staff and patrons. Whilst it was a hard decision to make, it was one that was necessary to protect all Australians and reduce the spread and lower the curve.
