Some milestones are extra special! 🎉🎉

Last Sunday, four year old Lasya completed her very first solo swimming lesson with us, independently and without her mum in the water.

Lasya, who has cerebral palsy, joined our Access & Inclusion beginner classes last year with instructor Ed to build confidence in the water. Since then, she’s gone from wanting to stay close to mum, to exploring, playing and swimming more confidently each week.

For her mum, the biggest change has been seeing Lasya’s confidence grow, not just in the pool, but in her personality too.

“Swimming means play, exploration, and enjoying different activities in a fun and engaging way.”

And according to Lasya, the best part of the lessons? “Playing with sinkies, especially when the colour is pink!”

We’re so proud of you, Lasya. What a huge achievement.

We are very excited to announce our new and improved swimming lesson certificates! 🎉🎉🎉

Same proud moments, just with a fresh new look to show off on the fridge.

From first floats to sick kicks and maybe even some butterfly, every milestone counts and we love celebrating them with you.

Well, that was a strong six weeks. 💪

Our Women’s Strength Skills Program wrapped up last Thursday, and safe to say it was a hit.

84 women joined us across 39 classes and 150 total attendances, with every session booked out and waitlists the whole way through. We started with 4 classes a week and quickly bumped it up to 7 thanks to demand.

A huge thanks to everyone who came along. It was pretty special seeing so many women backing themselves, building confidence and taking up space in the weights room.

New gear incoming. 👀

The pin-loaded room will be closed tomorrow from 10am to 1pm while we install some new equipment.

The rest of the gym will stay open as usual. Thanks for your patience.

A huge thank you for all your patience and understanding while we got things sorted. And a cheeky shoutout to our incredible staff, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to get everything back on track.

Lap swimming returns tomorrow! 🏊‍♀️ From 6am Monday 30 March, our pools will be open for lap swimming only. Our pools are a little cooler than normal at 23’c (to the normal 30’c). Swimming Lessons and Aqua classes remain cancelled until further notice as we heat our pools appropriately for those programs.
