Wishing all our LDI families a very happy and healthy 2023

Visited Scarborough beach today, similar to England in that it was windy and had an open air pool but that was all! Scarborough beach pool is managed by Stirling Leisure centres for the community with a year round learn to swim program Aquababies to adults. All swimmers in the program are able to use the pool for free to practice which is a great idea!

Wishing all our LDI swimmers, their families and our LDI team a wonderful Christmas

If you are lucky enough to go away this holiday remember to stay keep between red and yellow flags which is lifeguard patrolled and check out the local info before you swim…

I’m always keen to share best practice and learn from other swim providers. Today was insightful at Aquatic Achievers swim school in Brisbane who own this facility and run lessons daily in small sections of the pool from parent and child to swim squad.
Here most educational facilities have a pool so swimmers get picked for their own school swim squads and then train there before going into competitive club programs.

Love this! Reminds me of our summer fun and games and activities in our Aquatic skills sessions 😃

Great to see “Beththeswimlady” back on poolside with us this week after 6 years away…
She will be doing cover for the team while relocating back down south
Some of the pupils she used to teach with me are now taller than both of us!

LDI will not be running any sessions on Monday 19th September when the State Funeral will take place, as a mark of respect, for the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Replacement sessions will be on Monday 5th December.

The LDI team were very shocked to hear of the sad passing of Her Majesty the Queen this afternoon.

Her Majesty was Patron of The Amateur Swimming Association in 1953.
A wonderful lady who has served her Country selflessly for over 70 years.
Thank you for everything you have done.
