Important PARC Swim Update: Main 50m Pool closure 30 June – 27 July

May 29, 2025

Dear PARC Swim Members,

Please be advised of facility upgrades that will impact some PARC Swim members.

Rolling Tiling Upgrades – 50m Pool Closure

You will have noticed the planned and essential tile replacement works continuing this term as we strive to keep PARC at its best.

Specialised facilities, like PARC, require regular upgrades to ensure the life of the building remains fit-for-purpose and safe for the community. Now 10 years old, the building has seen incredible usage and we are now embarking on an important stage in our tile replacement project.

The Main 50m Pool will be closed from Monday 30 June – Sunday 27 July inclusive (4 week closure period).

The planned works include tile replacement on the bulk heads at each end of the 50m pool, along with the re-earthing of the 50m pool fixtures. We are also using this closure period to upgrade our balance tank support structure. These essential upgrades will help ensure an improved experience for all our visitors, into the future.

What services are impacted?

CLOSED: The 50m pool will be closed from Monday 30 June until Sunday 27 July inclusive, reopening on Monday 28 July.
OPEN: Other aquatic facilities will remain open, including the Learn To Swim Pool, Waterslides and Aquatic Playground. PARC Swim members are welcome to use these facilities during the 50m pool closure.

What this means for PARC Swim members

PARC Swim members with classes in the 50m pool (shallow end)

If your class is in the shallow end of the main 50m pool, you will not have scheduled classes from June 30 to July 27 (inclusive). Your Xplor Customer Portal schedule will not show any classes for this period. Lessons will return on Monday 28 July.

All members who have classes in the shallow end of the main 50m pool will receive a ‘no debit period’ during this time so you will not be charged for the month.

PARC Swim members with classes in the Learn To Swim (LTS) pool

If your PARC Swim class is scheduled in the LTS pool, your classes will continue as per normal during the 50m pool closure, and your invoice period will remain the same.

To check where your class is scheduled, please refer to your Xplor Customer Portal, or see the quick reference table below.

Here to support you

We recognise that the 50m pool closure will be a short-term disruption and we thank you for your patience as we undergo these essential upgrades. If you have any questions, please email us at parc.swim@peninsulaleisure.com.au.

With thanks,
The PARC Swim team

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 🩵
