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.

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 🙌
