Learn to swim
Learn to swim programs play a vital role in community wellbeing, with early childhood classes laying the foundation for lifelong safety and confidence in the water. Infant and toddler classes focus on water familiarisation through gentle, play-based learning with a parent or guardian in the pool. These sessions help children develop comfort and coordination in the water while fostering trust and bonding. Introducing water safety from a young age not only builds essential skills but also promotes healthy physical development and sensory learning in a calm, structured environment.

Aqua aerobics
Aquatic fitness programs offer inclusive, low-impact exercise options that support physical health, mental wellbeing, and community connection—especially for older adults. Aqua aerobics, for example, provides a fun and social way to stay active, using water resistance to build cardiovascular fitness and muscular endurance without placing stress on joints. These group sessions are especially popular among the over-50s, offering a safe and effective workout for individuals managing arthritis, injury, or reduced mobility. The shared experience encourages participation and promotes a sense of belonging within the group.
Aquarobics runs every Monday and Thursday with classes at 9.00am and 10.00am, $18.00 casual class and $15.00 concession.
