Attention: Critical staff shortages impacting some services

You may have seen that some businesses and aquatic facilities across the state are having to close due to staff isolating. Unfortunately, at PARC, we are not immune to this either, and find ourselves operating under critical staff shortages due to COVID.

We are doing all we can to continue to operate under these conditions, but as a result, we may need to close off certain services / facilities at certain times to ensure correct supervision at all times. Our usual hours for faculties such as waterslides may vary.

We are doing our very best to ensure we continue to deliver the highest level of customer experiences to you.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you in advance for your understanding.

Winter is where safer swimmers are made 🏊

It might be getting colder outside, but now is actually the best time to keep your kids swimming.

New research from Royal Life Saving – Australia has revealed that nearly half of Aussie kids can`t swim 50 metres or tread water for two minutes. It’s a worrying trend that’s putting young lives at risk.

At PARC Swim, we believe swimming is a life skill – not just a summer activity. That’s why our indoor pools are open year-round, with qualified teachers helping children grow in confidence, skill and water safety awareness every single week.

Plus, our swim families enjoy some pretty great benefits, including:
🌟 Unlimited access to our pools for your child and an accompanying adult
🌟 Free entry to Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in summer
🌟 Flexible make-up lessons
🌟 Discounts for families with multiple kids

🏊 Winter is where safer swimmers are made, there’s no better time to dive back in. Let’s keep our kids safer, stronger and swimming this winter. Learn more via our blog – link in bio
