💙 Today is World Mental Health Day.

World Mental Health Day is a chance to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage open conversations about mental health and wellbeing. It's a reminder to check in with yourself and those around you, and to seek support when it's needed.

Whether it's going for a walk, spending time with friends, getting active or simply taking a moment to slow down, small actions can have a positive impact on your wellbeing.

Let's make time to connect, move and support one another. 💙

As part of Mental Health Month, you're invited to join one of our walking groups this October. Enjoy a walk in the fresh air, grab a coffee and connect with others in the community.

Our first walk takes place on Tuesday 13 October from 10:45am to 11:45am. Book your spot via the link below. We'd love to see you there!

🏆 Congratulations to Scarlett, our Assistant Centre Manager (Swim School), who recently took home the Youth Leadership Award at the 2026 SWIM Australia Awards!

Recognised for her outstanding leadership and contribution to aquatic education, Scarlett has made a remarkable impact at Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre.

Scarlett has used her lived experience to help create inclusive, neuro-affirming programs where participants feel safe, supported and confident. Her ability to connect with students and families has made a lasting difference to many in our community.

By just 22 years of age, she has helped grow the Swim Champs program for students with additional needs from three to 25 participants, significantly increased swim lesson enrolments, improved customer satisfaction, trained and mentored 38 swim instructors, and supported the delivery of aquatic programs for refugees, people seeking asylum, international students and other community members who may face barriers to participation.

Congratulations, Scarlett. This recognition is incredibly well deserved, and we're proud to have you on our team. 💙👏🌟

Did you know? 💪

Australia’s movement guidelines recommend muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week, plus activities that improve mobility, balance and coordination on three or more days each week.

The good news? Strength training can take many forms, from free weights and machines to bodyweight and functional exercises. Along with building strength, it can help improve mobility, support joint health and make everyday movement easier.

So, when was the last time you gave your muscles a proper challenge? 🏋️‍♀️✨
