Be water safe this summer and enrol in swimming classes

Secure your swimming  for term 4 with a PARC Swim Start in-water assessment  

Learning to swim is not just a skill; it’s a life-enhancing experience. Our PARC Swim lessons focus on providing your child with the necessary skills and confidence to navigate various aquatic environments safely. Whether it’s the pool, beach, river, or lake, PARC Swim’s progression plan equips your child to be a competent and secure swimmer – and develop a life-long love of water. 

PARC Swim membership benefits 

Included in our PARC Swim membership, students have unlimited access to PARC and PINES outside of their weekly swimming lesson for play and practice. Our PARC Swim team provides a structured program that groups by age and skill, and we complete assessments each term to assist development and progression. Students will also be offered make-up classes  from Monday 7 October, if they are unwell or unable to attend, so that they don’t miss out on important lessons.  

Book in for a PARC Swim Start in-water assessment 

To ensure a great start to your swimming lessons experience with us, we offer complimentary PARC Swim Start in-water assessments. During these sessions we will assess your (or your child’s) skills in the water and place you in the right level for your age and skills. You will also get to meet a few of the PARC Swim Team and get to experience the facility for yourself. 

Speak to our friendly team in Centre or email membership.parc@peninsulaleisure.com.au to book your session. We can’t wait to welcome you as a member of PARC Swim!
