Thanks Reece Whitby MLA we love our new scoreboard and can't thank you enough

🏊‍♂️ It was fantastic to check out the new scoreboard now in action at the Rockingham Swimming Club! 🏊‍♀️

This was a proud election commitment that has now been delivered, giving the club a fantastic new scoreboard, an upgraded timing system and essential equipment to support swimmers and competitions. ⏱️👏

A big shout out to Josh Hofer, who completed his 400m swim at Aqua Jetty as part of his incredible Telethon challenge.

Josh is aiming to swim 400m at 30 different Perth metro pools between May and September 2026, and on Saturday he even joined the State Performance Squad, coached by Mark, for a powerhouse session.

Huge thanks to Aqua Jetty for supporting this great cause and to Jordan and Connor for sneaking in a picture with The Hoff.

Well done, Josh. Your dedication is making waves for a great cause.
