Main Pool Hall to reopen Monday 11 August

Updated 8 August, 1pm  

Great news! PARC’s Main Pool Hall is reopening early on Monday 11 August

We’re thrilled to share that the Main Pool Hall will reopen one week earlier than planned, on Monday 11 August!

Thanks to a smooth and speedy installation of our brand-new boiler system, we’ve been able to bring the reopening forward and get you back in the water sooner.

We’re reopening one full week earlier than planned thanks to the early arrival of parts and the smooth installation and commissioning of our new 600-kilowatt boiler. This upgraded system will provide more consistent heating across our pools and showers.

SERVICES:

What’s reopening on Monday 11 August?

  • 50m Pool – lap swimming, PARC Swim, Aqua classes and user groups return
  • Learn to Swim Pool – PARC Swim returns
  • Waterslides – fun is back!
  • Showers – are hot and flowing
  • Café – back to normal hours (8am – 7pm weekdays, 8am – 5pm weekends)

What’s reopening later?

  • Aquatic Playground – repaint works remain on track to finish in time for planned reopen on Saturday 16 August
  • Sauna – The Sauna is closed for tiling upgrades, 

What’s already open?
All other areas of the Centre, including the Warm Water Pool, Spa, Gym, Reformer Studio, and Group Exercise Rooms, continue to operate as normal.

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵

💪 Stronger health outcomes
😊 Greater lifestyle satisfaction

These results show us what we hear from you every day - PARC is much more than a pool or gym.

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
