Ms BYRNES (Cunningham) (13:37): Get ready to pedal into some fun! The Social Women's Intercultural Friendship Tricycling (and Bicycling) Club, also known as the SWIFT Club, celebrated their first anniversary over the weekend. The club was founded last year by cancer survivor Nyan Thit Tieu after the great success of the 2022 UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong. With the support of the Illawarra Cycle Club, the Illawarra Yacht Club, Port Kembla Sailing Club, IBUG, Cycling Without Age, JulesCycling, the Disability Trust, Fornix Wheels and all levels of government, Thit's vision has been able to come to life.

The club first started to aid the recovery of cancer survivors but has grown to include a very diverse range of people from many multicultural backgrounds. The chairperson for SWIFT, Dr Farhannah Aly, has plans to further the inclusion by running an event in conjunction with the Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation for a trike and yarn circle. SWIFT has given women a safe, supportive and welcoming environment to meet new people and remain active. The club has a fleet of tricycles for people who have never ridden a bike before or who have lost the ability to ride due to illness or lack of confidence. SWIFT Club meets every Saturday for a ride, and after the ride members enjoy a coffee and a chat together. I give a big congratulations to Thit, Farhannah and all the team at the SWIFT Club for reaching this milestone. I can't wait to see what you achieve next year.
