PARC partnering with AUSTSWIM and Allianz

We are very pleased to be a participating facility in the Allianz Australia Swim Club program, as one of three Victorian centres. This program has been designed in partnership with AUSTSWIM and Masters Swimming Australia to offer a free 8 week learn-to-swim program, specifically designed for adults.

This is a very exciting opportunity for Peninsula Leisure and PARC Swim to instil a love of water and equip our community with the skills they need to be safer when enjoying all aquatic environments.

PARC Swim manager, Leah Andrews, is delighted by the opportunity and excited for her team to help make a splash!

PARC is very proud to be a participating facility in the Allianz Swim Club. To be able to provide a free swimming program, that features a social connection for adults in our community who have very low swimming ability is a fantastic initiative, especially leading into summer,” said Leah. 

“The hope is by the end of the program we will have confident and importantly, much safer adults who will be able to enjoy water activities with their family and friends.”  

We are thrilled to be able to support our community learn fundamental swimming and water safety skills, preparing them for summer and years to come.

Restart a Heart Day at PARC this Saturday ❤️💙

Join us this weekend, on Saturday 18 October, for Restart a Heart Day, a vital community event that raises awareness about cardiac arrest and empowers people with lifesaving CPR skills. 

Hosted by Monash University Paramedicine, this educational pop up in PARC's foyer will help build a safer, more prepared community.

Did you know that only 1 in 10 people survive a cardiac arrest? Most cardiac arrests happen in the home, so learning how to act fast could save the life of someone you love. Restart a Heart day will teach you how to respond in just three simple steps: CALL, PUSH, SHOCK.

Drop by PARC on Saturday morning between 9am – 12pm to learn from paramedics and paramedic students, who will be on hand to guide you through these critical steps and boost your confidence in delivering CPR. 

Every minute counts when restarting a heart – let’s work together to improve survival rates!
