This summer, Peninsula Leisure and Frankston City Council are helping more people in Frankston learn to swim and stay safe around water. 

Our More People Can Swim initiative offers fully subsidised programs for teens, kids, and families this January, who would otherwise not have access to water safety education or swimming lessons. 

💦 Build confidence in and around the water 
💦 Learn vital life-saving water skills 
💦 Join a fun, supportive community who is safer for summer 

Simply complete an Expression of Interest form for your preferred program on our website here: https://peninsulaleisure.com.au/can-swim/ 

☀️ Expressions of Interest are open throughout November 2025, for programs running in January 2026.
