Help us keep everyone safe and prevent the spread of crypto

There has been an increase in the number of cryptosporidiosis (crypto/diarrhea) cases in Victoria over the recent months. Some cases have become infected after using public swimming pools and public health investigations have found people are attending pools while they are infectious.

In order to keep our members and patrons safe, we ask that you help prevent the spread of crypto with the following steps:

  • Do not swim if you have diarrhoea.
  • Do not swim if you have had cryptosporidiosis in the past 14 days. If you have been diagnosed with crypto infection, you must not swim until 14 days have passed from the time your symptoms ended.
  • Always shower and wash thoroughly with soap before you swim.
  • Always wash your hands with soap after going to the toilet or changing a nappy.
  • Change nappies in nappy change areas only.
  • Avoid swallowing pool water.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep everyone safe.

Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It's a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do - helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
- Squats while the kettle boils - turn waiting time into movement time.
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth - two minutes of strength, twice a day.
- Lunges down the hallway - every trip becomes a mini workout.
- Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
- Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk - perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌
