Swim safer this summer

#PARCSwim #SaferSummer

Enrol your children in our PARC Swim program this spring and work towards securing a safer summer for your family.

PARC Swim Manager, Julia Wood, said the local PARC Swim program is run by AUSTSWIM qualified teachers dedicated to coaching children on how be safer around water.

“Spring is the perfect time to enrol your children in swimming lessons so you can prepare them in time for fun in the water this summer.”

“Our PARC Swim program follows an innovative, easy to follow developmental Learn to Swim pathway that encourages everyone to swim safely, as well as promoting a lifelong love of the water,” Julia said.

PARC Swim has a vision to ensure all children in Frankston can swim before they finish primary school. The program is designed to provide the best possible learning outcomes, with lessons available seven days a week for children from six months old.

Included in a PARC Swim membership is an innovative 44-week program, with progression guaranteed (at least one level every 30 weeks), to develop safer and more confident swimmers.

Make-up classes are available to offer flexibility when needed, and children (when supervised by an adult) have unlimited access to all aquatic areas (excluding the wellbeing pool) throughout the year.

Discounts and VIP bookings for special events and school holiday activities are offered to PARC Swim members, as well as free car parking (a maximum of three hours) for all PARC members.

Assessments are carried out throughout each term and results are uploaded to parents via a private online portal. Families seeking to enrol multiple children in PARC Swim are entitled to a 10% discount on membership fees for the third and consecutive children.

It’s been a big year behind the scenes at PARC 👏

Working alongside Frankston City Council, our Asset & Facilities team delivered major upgrades across the Centre — all focused on creating the best possible experience for our members and community. While much of this work happens quietly, its impact is felt every day.

That commitment was recognised in June, when PARC was named Facility of the Year (Large) at the Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Excellence Awards 🏆

📊 The numbers behind the work:
• 1,238 planned and reactive maintenance and upgrade projects
• 2,145 contractors supported on site

From the whole team at PARC, we would like to extend a massive thank you to you, our fantastic members and patrons, for your ongoing patience and support throughout these upgrades. We hope that you enjoy the improvements made and look forward to another year together at PARC!
