There ain’t no party like an Aquamoves pool party.

On Sunday, December 22, children flooded through the doors of Shepparton’s premier recreational centre for the School’s Out Pool Party.

Swapping homework for testing the waters, they plunged into the indoor pool coated in a layer of inflatable toys, got swept along by the rapid river’s currents, and splashed down the water slide.

News photographer Rechelle Zammit was poolside to capture the event.
