October 3, 2024

**Dive into a life-long love of water with our free More People Can Swim Adult Program**

Are you an adult who’s never quite found the time or opportunity to learn to swim?

Ready to take the plunge and feel more confident and safer in and around the water as we head into summer?

Do you want to learn to swim so you can participate with your loved ones in the water?

Now’s your chance! PARC is excited to invite you to our More People Can Swim adult intensive program – a fully funded, 5-week intensive course tailored for beginners, running this November and December 2024.

What’s the program about?

This program is designed for adults (18 years and over) who have little to no swimming experience and want to develop essential water safety skills. Over the 5 weeks, you’ll build your swimming confidence, learn safety and rescue techniques, and enjoy full access to our aquatic facilities at PARC and Pines to practise and play.

Whether you’re looking to improve your safety in the water, or simply want to enjoy the beach with a bit more confidence, this program is for you! Expressions of Interest are now open, and close on 31 October. Express your interest HERE.

Program Details:

Week 1: Monday 11 November
Week 2: Monday 18 November
Week 3: Monday 25 November
Week 4: Monday 2 December
Week 5: Monday 9 December

Where: Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC)

What’s included:

A free 5-week swim membership at PARC (including access to Pines)
One swimming class each week
Free parking at PARC during the program
A starter pack with swimming equipment: kickboard, cap, towel, and a bag

Cost:

It’s completely FREE! Thanks to the generous support of Frankston City Council and Peninsula Leisure, this program is fully subsidised.

Who’s eligible?
This program is for you if:

You’re 18 years or older
You’re a beginner with little to no swimming experience
You’re not currently enrolled in any other swim program
