Pull on your flanno and pump for a good cause 💪

Join us at the Rec Centre on Friday 14 August for our 9.15am Pump class, wear your favourite flanno and bring a gold coin donation to support Aussie farming families doing it tough.

It’s a simple gesture with plenty of heart - a chance to get moving, come together and remind our farmers they’re not alone. Farm Angels provide practical assistance, emotional support and financial relief to farming families across Australia.

Book your spot, grab your flanno and let’s lift for the people who help keep our country going ❤️

🍽 Another fortnight down, another Rec Recipe! Healthy habits, served fresh from the Margaret River Rec Centre.

This fortnight's serving: Love your gut 💚

Looking after your gut is one of the simplest ways to support your overall health. A balanced diet packed with fibre and fermented foods helps nourish the good bacteria that keep your digestive system thriving.

Fill your shopping basket with gut-friendly favourites:
🫐 Berries & seasonal fruit
🥣 Natural yoghurt
🌾 Oats
🧅 Onions
🧄 Garlic
🫘 Beans & chickpeas
🥬 Kimchi & other fermented vegetable
🍹 Kombucha

Hot tip: Try adding just one extra fibre-rich food to your meals each day. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference to your gut health over time.

New aquatic rehab lane trial 🏊

We’re excited to introduce a new rehab lane trial, designed to better support patrons completing rehabilitation exercises in the pool.

During selected times, a pool lane may be allocated for rehabilitation use, providing a more comfortable and suitable environment for people recovering from injury or surgery, older adults, people living with disability, and physiotherapy clients.

Before you visit:
✔️ Check online lane availability to see when the rehab lane is available: membership.amrshire.wa.gov.au/ResourceAvailability
✔️ Follow pool deck signage or speak with our reception team on arrival
✔️ Please note that during available sessions, the lane may be shared with other rehab users

We will do our best to provide an edge lane by the leisure pool to help with access.
