Fully Subsidised Swim Programs – Pre-Teen & Teen

Fully Subsidised Swim Programs – Learn Vital Water Safety Skills  

Can your child save themselves in the water? According to Royal Life Saving Australia, 84% of Australian Year 10 students can’t. Does your child meet the swimming benchmarks?  

From Primary to High school, there is a generational decline in swimming skill and it’s endangering young lives. According to the Royal Life Saving Australia’s 2025 Report on Children’s Swimming & Water Safety Skills, many school-aged children are still struggling to meet the essential swimming benchmark, with 48% of Australian Pre-teens (10 – 12 year old) lacking the ability to swim 50m or tread water for 2 minutes. 

Drowning is preventable, make sure your child is safer in and around water. Join our Can Swim Program this August & September. The fully subsidised swim program for pre-teens and teens is the perfect opportunity for young people to build confidence in the water and develop essential life-saving skills.

Important Centre Update:  Main Pool Hall Closure 
Thursday 31 July, back open on Monday 18 August

Please be advised that the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August to allow for essential, unplanned boiler replacement works. During this period, there will also be no hot water to the showers Centre-wide. 

One of the most important systems in our facility is the boiler system, which heats our pools and showers. Unfortunately, we recently experienced an unexpected fault that impacted heating water. As a result, we’re fast-tracking a major replacement to this critical system to restore full comfort and ensure long-term reliability. To safely complete these works, the entire Main Pool Hall will be closed from Thursday 31 July to Monday 18 August.

The Warm Water Pool and Spa remain operating as normal.

Please visit our website to learn more about these works and impacted services during this time: https://parc.peninsulaleisure.com.au/alerts/important-centre-update-main-50m-pool-closure-30-june-27-july/ 

If you would like to suspend your membership for the closure period, you can do so via our website: https://bit.ly/4b35AsV Suspensions used will not go towards members’ allowable suspensions days. 

Thank you for your continued support. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we carry out this important replacement. We look forward to welcoming you back to a warmer PARC Main Pool Hall from Monday 18 August.
