The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober:

🛗 Take the stairs – Skip the lift when you can.
🚗 Park further away – Add a few hundred steps before you`ve even started your day.
📞 Walk while you talk – Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move.
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime – Even 10 minutes counts.
🖥️ Step on the spot – Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.

Happy 99th Birthday Marion! 🥳 🎂

This week, Frankston Masters Swimming Club member Marion celebrated her 99th birthday! We had the absolute pleasure of chatting to Marion, and listening to her story.

Marion discovered her love for swimming and the water at 8 years old when she moved to Blackrock. She participated in many carnivals and swimming events throughout her youth, including joining life saving at 10. She told us that water allows her to feel freedom and that she thrives on the feeling of swimming through the water.

Marion joined Masters at 75, and since joining, has competed in many events throughout Australia, including Sydney, South Australia, Western Australia and her favourite, Pan Pac in Queensland. She competed in the relay at Pan Pac last year, with other 90-year-old swimmers, achieving incredible results!

PARC is much loved by Marion, and she hopes to be an inspiration for other senior members of the community to stay active and keep moving. She also has a soft spot for PINES, saying it’s like stepping straight back to the 70’s.

We asked Marion if she had any inspiring words for someone who may be struggling with confidence or considering entering the water for the first time. Her advice was, “You don’t know what you can do until you try. You must try.”

Happy Birthday Marion! We hope you had a beautiful day, and look forward to catching up next time you are at PARC 🩵
