 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!
