Two WynActive staff members have been recognised at this year’s Aquatics and Recreation Victoria’s awards.
AquaPulse member relations team member, Sarah Chadwick, took out the ARV’s Victorian Member Sales Award.
Eagle Stadium staff member Shelby Rae beat a 10-strong nomination field to win the award for Most Valuable Employee.
Ms Chadwick, a Wyndham resident, started out as a lifeguard with WynActive.
She progressed to become a swim teacher and swim school leader, before joining the sales team.
AquaPulse and the Werribee Outdoor Pool general manager Barry Harrison said Ms Chadwick was “an outstanding example of an emerging young leader in our industry”.
“Her award success is acknowledgement of her dedication and ability to understand what drives a person to want to live a healthier life,” Mr Harrison said.
Ms Rae, who is also a Wyndham resident, and has been employed in a range of roles across WynActive since 2015.
She has served as a stadium officer and founding team member at Eagle Stadium, where she is now centre care manager.
Prior to this, she worked at AquaPulse.
Eagle Stadium manager Rod Gaut said Ms Rae’s personal and professional attributes have seen her continually exceed expectations in the workplace.
“Shelby has always given her absolute best for our team and customers and is viewed as a mentor and a role model by her peers,” he said.
AquaPulse also received the Watch Around Water gong at the ARV awards for the fourth year in a row.
