The River

One of the Wagga Leagues Swimming Clubs core objectives is to Maintain and Respect our River Environment.

Over many years the club has contributed to revegetation and clean-up projects. Our respect for the Murrumbidgee River not only lies with its dangers, but also in how it serves as the life blood for our community. It is a forever changing force through flood and drought.
