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!

Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means.

Adults in Australia should aim for:

30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class.

OR

20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout.

AND

2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋‍♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class.

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.

It’s been a big year behind the scenes at PARC 👏

Working alongside Frankston City Council, our Asset & Facilities team delivered major upgrades across the Centre — all focused on creating the best possible experience for our members and community. While much of this work happens quietly, its impact is felt every day.

That commitment was recognised in June, when PARC was named Facility of the Year (Large) at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Excellence Awards 🏆

📊 The numbers behind the work:
• 1,238 planned and reactive maintenance and upgrade projects
• 2,145 contractors supported on site

🚧 Tiling Upgrade Project
💧 New Boiler Installation
🛝 Water Slide & Tower Refurbishment Project
🏗️ Upgrades to heating and cooling through the Centre (HVAC Project)
🛟 Instillation of Lynxight
🧘‍♀️ Reformer Pilates Studio

From the whole team at PARC, we would like to extend a massive thank you to you, our fantastic members and patrons, for your ongoing patience and support throughout these upgrades. We hope that you enjoy the improvements made and look forward to another year together at PARC!
