Women’s wellness returns

The City of Canning’s acclaimed Women’s Swimming and Wellness program is making a return to Cannington Leisureplex for its seventh consecutive year.

Between 15 October to 7 July, Cannington Leisureplex will host exclusive women-only sessions every Sunday evening from 6.30pm to 9.30pm.

The centre will be staffed entirely by a female workforce during these sessions, creating a safe and supportive environment for women to focus on their well-being.

This year, the program has expanded to offer longer operational hours an even broader range of activities and facilities, catering to the diverse needs and aspirations of women in the Canning community.

Mayor Patrick Hall said by acknowledging this commitment to inclusivity, the Women’s Wellness Program offers a solution that fosters empowerment and respect for diverse backgrounds.

“The Women’s Wellness program has a rich history of empowering women and fostering a sense of belonging within our community”.

“We are committed to providing a holistic wellness experience that caters to the unique needs of women, with a focus on inclusivity and diversity,” said Mayor Hall.

The Women’s Wellness Program has a rich history, dating back to 2017 when Cannington Leisureplex became the first local government in Western Australia to introduce women-only sessions.

In 2018, the Swimming and Wellness Program received recognition as a finalist in the WA Sport and Recreation Industry Awards, highlighting its innovation and commitment to promoting women’s well-being.
