Kick Swim Centre

🚧 Roadworks Update for Kick Swim Families 🚧

From 8 June 2026, roadworks will begin at the Old Maryborough Road and Tooth Street intersection and continue through to late 2026.

While access to Kick Swim Centre will remain available and lessons will continue as normal, families may experience increased traffic and slightly longer travel times, particularly during busy periods.

🏊 Lessons & programs continue as normal
🚗 Please allow a few extra minutes for travel
📍 Access to Kick Swim Centre will remain available

Thank you for your patience and understanding while these works are underway. We'll keep families updated if there are any changes that may affect access to the centre.

💙 WATER SAFETY WEDNESDAY 💙

Kids don’t just remember the moments you watched them — they remember the moments you were truly present.

Around water, being engaged matters. Put the phone away, look up, join in, and make memories while keeping them safe.

👀 Eyes up
📱 Phones down
💙 Be present

Your attention is their protection.

Meet the Team Monday (on Tuesday) 💙

Say hello to Allison — our Customer Service Leader, chocolate enthusiast, problem solver and one of the friendly faces keeping everything running smoothly at KICK! 👏

For the last 5 years, Allison has been helping families find the right solutions, answering the questions, solving the chaos and making sure customers feel looked after every step of the way.

What does Allison love most about the job? The conversations, getting to know people and helping make someone’s day just that little bit easier 💙

Outside of KICK, you’ll usually find her dreaming about K’gari beach days, eating Italian food, or maintaining her very committed relationship with chocolate 🍫🏝️🍝

She’s a proud dog person, loves The Wedding Singer, and if you need obscure 90’s movie trivia that nobody asked for but everyone somehow enjoys… Allison’s your person 😆

If you see Allison around the centre this week, make sure you say hi! 👋

💙 WATER SAFETY WEDNESDAY 💙

Crocodile Rolls are more than just a swim skill — they’re a life-saving skill.

Learning how to roll over to breathe while floating helps children stay calm, conserve energy and stay safer if they unexpectedly end up in deep water.

These foundation skills build confidence, independence and real water safety for life.

🌟 This morning, Donna and Allison had a fantastic time at Yarrilee State School’s Under 8’s Day! 🌟

We loved being part of the fun with our fishing game 🎣, colouring activities 🎨, and of course… plenty of bubbles! 🫧💙🧡

It was wonderful meeting families, sharing smiles, and celebrating a fun morning with the little learners.

Thanks to Yarrilee State School for having us!

Meet the Team Monday 💙

Say hello to MARK KRATZMANN — our Swim Instructor, Aqua Instructor, professional flat white enthusiast ☕ and one of the biggest personalities on the KICK team! 👏

For the last 2.5 years, Mark has brought energy, laughs, encouragement and a whole lot of heart to the pool deck. Loud? Absolutely. Child-at-heart? Without question. Approachable? Every single day.

What Mark loves most about the job? Progression. Seeing swimmers improve, build confidence and achieve their goals, and seeing the smiles when things finally click.

Outside of KICK, you’ll usually find him watching sport, relaxing in the recliner, or talking football ⚽📺

He’s especially passionate about our Baby Sharks program 🦈and customers may be surprised to learn… he’s apparently much younger than he looks 😆

If you see Mark around the centre this week, make sure you say hi! 👋

We’re happy to let you know our emails are now back up and running!

Thanks for your patience while we worked through the issue. We appreciate your understanding

🏊‍♀️➡️🏖️ Poolside to Beachside! 🏖️➡️🏃‍♀️

A bunch of Fraser Coast Swim Club mums are swapping out feeding permanently hungry athletes, being unpaid taxi drivers, endless towels, goggles & forgotten water bottles, early mornings and poolside camp chairs

…for a slightly different challenge — 20km of walking, sand, sweat and questionable life choices! 😂

On July 17, Team No Turning Back will be taking on Coastrek, trekking from Marcoola to Mooloolaba to raise funds for Beyond Blue and support mental health across Australia 💙

One of the crew is our very own Allison from Kick Swim Centre, stepping away from the pool deck and into hiking mode!

Mental health impacts so many people in our community, and we’re proud to be supporting such an important cause.

If you’d like to support a bunch of slightly sleep-deprived swim mums doing hard things for a great reason, we’d love your support 💙

Every donation makes a difference 🙌

No Turning Back are doing Coastrek! We are hiking for mental health with Coastrek Sunshine Coast 2026 - 20KM and raising funds for Beyond Blue. Please support us and help ensure support is there when needed for those we love and for everyone in Australia.
