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!

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2. 

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are: 
- Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
- Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator 
- Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
- Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
How cute it this?! 🦄

Our Cafe team always know how to add a little magic into your day! ✨

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting. 

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone. 

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
Did you know that our vision is that 'Every Child In Frankston Can Swim'? 🌳👶

The Rotary Peninsula 2.0's Birth Tree is one way that's helping us to achieve this vision. 

By joining this year’s Birth Tree, you will receive a timeless tribute of your loved one in the form of a tree and plaque. Equally importantly, $45 of every contribution goes straight back to the community to help more children build confidence in the water, with free infant swimming lessons through the Can Swim initiative. 🏊
