Learn-to-swim looks lost

THE owner of the business known as "New Norfolk's Best Learn to Swim" has announced that the service will not be operating this summer. Marcus Parschau last week published a Facebook post saying he had not been able to reach a suitable agreement with the New Norfolk Olympic Pool.

"Since 2012 I had a great time, met some great people and achieved and learned so much," Mr Parschau said. "I hope I was able to make a little difference and the kids of the Derwent Valley a bit safer in and around water. Please let other friends and people who are not on Facebook know about my decision. All the best. Marcus."
