Expressions are open for our fully funded adult beginner swim program

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.

  • 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

Upcoming HVAC improvement works 🚧👷

We are undertaking two important HVAC improvement projects at PARC from Monday 5 October to Friday 16 October.

Rust Air Duct Rectification Works
We`ll be replacing sections of our air ducting that supplies fresh air to our Group Exercise studios. A section of the corridor near the studios will be temporarily closed, with some lockers unavailable while works are underway. Access to Studio 2 and all Group Exercise classes will remain available as normal, with no classes impacted.

Warm Water Pool Accessible Changeroom Ventilation Upgrade
The accessible changerooms in Warm Water Pool area will be temporarily closed from Monday 5 – Friday 16 October as we install additional fresh air supply systems to both. Alternative accessible change facilities are available in the Family Change area as well as upstairs, which is accessible via the elevator. Our team will be on hand to assist members who require support.

Thank you for your patience and support as we invest in your PARC experience.
