PARC Swim Update: Fly age group now called Snap 

The PARC Swim team have listened to member feedback and have made improvements to the program for the benefit of FLY age group students.  

Based on member feedback, we are removing the need to change levels simply because of a birthday. From now on, all Fly classes will be called Snap. This will increase the availability of classes as well as make things simpler and more flexible for you. 

Why are we making the change to the program? 

We want to make PARC Swim simpler and more flexible for families. By combining the Fly and Snap levels, we can: 

  • Offer more class times and make-up options 
  • Base progression on swimming ability, not age 
  • Ensure students swim with others of a similar ability, supporting faster progression 

What does this mean for Fly age group members? 

  • Your class day, time and location will not change. 
  • The name of the class is now Snap, and the Fly age group no longer exists.  
  • There is no change to the program content, just a simpler, ability-based progression. 

When does this take effect? 

  • For those in the learn to swim pool – this will take effect from Monday 21st July 
  • For those in the 50m pool – this will take effect from Monday 28th July 

What does this mean for Snap level members? 

  • There will now be more class options for level Snap 1-5 
  • Current Snap level members will have no changes or impacts to their current times. 

If you have any questions about your child’s move from Fly to Snap, please contact the PARC Swim team via email at parc.swim@peninsulaleisure.com.au.

Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
