PARC partnering with AUSTSWIM and Allianz

We are very pleased to be a participating facility in the Allianz Australia Swim Club program, as one of three Victorian centres. This program has been designed in partnership with AUSTSWIM and Masters Swimming Australia to offer a free 8 week learn-to-swim program, specifically designed for adults.

This is a very exciting opportunity for Peninsula Leisure and PARC Swim to instil a love of water and equip our community with the skills they need to be safer when enjoying all aquatic environments.

PARC Swim manager, Leah Andrews, is delighted by the opportunity and excited for her team to help make a splash!

PARC is very proud to be a participating facility in the Allianz Swim Club. To be able to provide a free swimming program, that features a social connection for adults in our community who have very low swimming ability is a fantastic initiative, especially leading into summer,” said Leah. 

“The hope is by the end of the program we will have confident and importantly, much safer adults who will be able to enjoy water activities with their family and friends.”  

We are thrilled to be able to support our community learn fundamental swimming and water safety skills, preparing them for summer and years to come.

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 🙌
