After the successful initiative taken these last two years by the club, the committee of Otters Aquatis Sports Club, is once again organising lessons in Swimming and Waterpolo, for children in Gozo.
These lessons will start on the 8th of July and will run throughout the months of July and August.
BMIT, Malta’s leading Data Centre, Cloud and Managed Services Provider is, for the second year running, sponsoring this Swimming and Waterpolo School organised by Otters Aquatic Sports Club in Marsalforn Bay, Gozo. Under the guidance of Head Coach, Mr Alfred Cachia, the School has blossomed and in Summer 2013 it had close to 100 participants.
The main targets of this School are to promote and introduce swimming and waterpolo to children from the age of six upwards. With BMIT’s backing, Otters ASC have recruited a number of qualified coaches which have given the School a more professional set-up.
Last month a Registration Day was held at the Arkadia Shopping Mall in Victoria Gozo and this attracted a record number of new applicants, therefore promising a great summer of activities in Marsalforn.
All those interested may still download an application from the Club’s website www.ottersasc.com [1]

Gozo still lacks public aquatic sports facilities and that the lack of development of sports facilities in Gozo is another sign that we Gozitans are not treated as equals to our Maltese counterparts. I believe that Gozitans deserve a heated pool, to be used both in winter and summer.
It would be ideal if the pool and aquatic sports facilities form part of the Gozo College and the existing sports complex in Victoria.
Such pool should also be available to all clubs, schools the general public and as a tourist facility. Also consideration should be given to those with disabilities, who would gain great improvements if there was a pool they could use.

I agree entirely. It is discriminatory against Gozitans that a pool is not available in Gozo, it exludes Gozitans from access to the health benefits enjoyed by their counterparts in Malta. Another good site would be the old Magro dairy outside Rabat.
