The Swimming Pontoon will provide a fun, active recreational element to Portland communities Foreshore space, attracting youth, tourists and those young at heart. *The application for this Project has been put forward on behalf of the Future Leaders of Industry and the Local Freeza Crew - both local youth groups. The Swimming Pontoon will be located at the far end of Foreshore near the Youth Activity space and will encourage activities like swimming and fun active water sport activities. The swimming pontoon aligns with the Glenelg Shire Council Foreshore Masterplan making it a significant Pick My Project Application.

As the Swimming Pontoon is located in the centre of Portland at the Foreshore, it's easily accessible by all community members and Tourists. The Pontoon will add to the existing activities available in this space, encouraging physical activity, sport and outdoor recreation.

The pontoon has full support from Local Port Management, as it provides an effective alternative to swimming/diving activities in unsafe and illegal areas and reduces associated risks.

We expect the Swimming Pontoon to be very popular with local youth, who have expressed a great deal of enthusiasm and support for the project.
