We’re thrilled to announce that following the Victorian Government press conference today, Wednesday 17th Feb we will be BACK OPEN tomorrow morning Thursday 18th Feb at 5am!

This means that Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) will reopen with the same COVID restrictions that were in place prior to closure, which includes capacity in small spaces and wearing masks. See our COVID information page for full terms of entry.

Pines Forest Aquatic Centre will also reopen on Thursday 18th February at 6am! Please visit the Pines website for more information.

Important membership credit information

We will be applying a 5-day credit on your membership to the direct debit payment on THURSDAY 4th MARCH.

Please note: We were unable to apply this credit to tomorrow’s payment due to the late notice of the announcement. Therefore you will be charged your full membership fee tomorrow (Thursday 18th Feb) and the credit will apply in the next direct debit cycle (Thursday 4th March).

EXERCISE BOOKINGS OPEN AT 4PM TODAY!

We had to close Group Exercise class bookings upon closure and await Government announcement to confirm reopening. All class bookings will open for the next three days at 4pm today.

Please book via your MyPARC app or Group Exercise page on the website.

What an incredible night! 👏

Our Women’s Health Seminar last Wednesday was a huge success, with a fantastic turnout. A huge thank you to our speakers, Nutritionist Ali Tehan and GP Dr Shaminder Kaur, for joining us and sharing their knowledge.

One of the key takeaways from the seminar? Resistance and weight training are powerful tools to boost bone health and help women stay strong and resilient through menopause and perimenopause. 💪

Our Small Group Training option can help you learn to lift with confidence and feel stronger with our expert trainers support and guidance.
