Pete Cooper Highly Commended at ARV Awards

A super congratulations to Pete Cooper, who received Highly Commended for Group Fitness Instructor of the Year at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria (ARV) Awards on Friday night! 🌟

In the ARV Awards, Highly Commended is a special recognition for those who stood out and just narrowly missed taking out the top award. And Pete, we couldn’t be prouder! 🙌

With 13 years of commitment, passion, and infectious energy, Pete has made a huge impact on our community. Whether it’s volunteering at special events, motivating members in class, or being a friendly face around the centre, Pete lives and breathes WaterMarc spirit 💙

We’re also incredibly proud of our other ARV Award nominees — you’re all winners to us!

🏊‍♀️ Tarrah Delgado Hwang – Lifeguard of the Year

🏅 Grace Maxey – Swim Teacher of the Year

👶 Ashlea Dyson – Swim Teacher (Babies, Infants & Preschool) of the Year
