Train like an Olympian – Swimming

July 29, 2021

Feeling inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games? Try this workout to get results in the pool!

If you’re like us, watching the Aussies dominate in the water has got you wanting to get in the pool!

Our trainers are here to help and have put together a swimming program in our PARC Fit app, which incorporates both water and dryland exercises so you can get the best results in the pool.

Dryland training takes place, you guessed it, on dry land. The goal is to use strength and conditioning exercises to increase power, mobility, and flexibility. For swimmers, this means the ultimate goal is to become more explosive in the water, increase speed and stroke rate, and improve distance per stroke. This type of training is also designed to reduce the risk of injury.

Here are our top 7 exercises to do in the gym so you can see results in the water!

Push-ups
Pullups
Squats
Jump Rope
Flutter Kicks
Superman
Russian Twist

Visit the PARC Fit app to see the different swimming workouts of the day. With the programs ranging from beginners to advanced, there is something to help all levels of skill.

Funded Can Swim Programs over January and February 💙💦💦

Join a fully subsidised swim program this summer to help us find innovative ways to teach swimming and water safety.

Over January and February 2024, Peninsula Leisure are running 3 pilot swim programs to test different Learn to Swim models. Through these programs we hope to learn more about swimming and water safety skills and knowledge, helping us towards our goal of ‘Every Child in Frankston Can Swim’.

What does that mean for you?

Each of these pilot programs is targeted at different audiences: youth, families, infants. The programs are fully subsidised for participants, and also come with access to PARC and PINES for the 2 weeks around the program time. All we ask is that participants complete a survey before their program, then again at the end, so we can see how this method of learning impacts water safety and awareness.

About the Programs:

⭐️ Youth 5 Day Program at PARC: Starting 8 January, 45 minute lesson per day.
⭐️ Family swimming and water safety session at PINES: Friday 19 January, 4.30pm-5.30pm
⭐️ Infant 3 day water familiarisation program at PARC over 19, 21and 23 February, at either 8.30am, 11.30am, 4.00pm or 4.30pm. 30 minute lesson per day.

Our car park is looking good 😎

Months of work have finally been completed and our safety upgrades and landscaping works mean the carpark is looking fresh.

We hope it will look even better when the 500 new plants mature.
