PARC Swim places available – book your child’s spot for term 4!

New classes added to our PARC Swim lesson timetable! Secure your place for Term 4 now.  

 Thanks to our STAR (Swim Teacher Active Recruitment) Program, we have 15 new Swim Teachers ready to hit the water in term 4, which means we are adding nearly 70 new classes to the program for Term 4!

Our STAR Program is a new Peninsula Leisure initiative that sees us cover the cost of our new teachers’ qualifications, training and in water teacher training hours, meaning we are attracting amazing, local swim teachers to our PARC Family!  

How to sign up?

4. When your booking is complete, you will receive a PARC Swim member’s wrist band (access to centre), a car park permit, and free swim bag. 

Summer is around the corner so there is no better time than to equip your child with vital water safety skills and build their lifelong love of water.
