🌍💚 Happy World Mental Health Day! 💚🌍

Today, we celebrate the power of community and the importance of mental well-being. We believe that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies.

🧘‍♀️ Join us for a day of positivity, connection, and self-care!

Remember, it’s okay to not be okay, and you’re never alone on this journey. Let’s break the stigma around mental health together!

💚 Share your thoughts, your stories, or even your favorite self-care tips in the comments! Together, we can create a supportive space for everyone.

⭐️ MEET OUR SWIMMING TEACHERS ⭐️

Hi, my name is Jo, although many children and Adults affectionately call me Jojo.
I love my job as a Swimming Teacher and have worked part-time time since the pool opened in 1990. I'm passionate in my job treating every child as an individual & wishing every child to enjoy their lessons whilst learning new skills.
I enjoy teaching every stage from the beginning of the journey in Adult/Child classes, singing songs, building water confidence and having fun, to the joy of seeing a child swim for the first time to refining stroke techniques in the higher stages, each accomplishment makes me proud.
I learnt to swim as a nervous child at the outdoor pool(which was on the same site as Splash), I went on to swim competively finding the love for swimming. My three boys all learnt to swim through lessons and swimming became a big part of our family life, from play swimming, to water parks, to snorkeling on holidays to swimming galas, other aquatic activities can lead on also, such as waterpolo, triathlons, lifesaving competitions, which my children all experienced.
Swimming is really a fantastic life skill !!

📣Walking Cricket 📣

Unfortunately, due to low numbers we have had to make the difficult decision to pause the sessions due to low participation.

We want to express our heartfelt thanks to the Steelbacks Foundation which have generously provided a fantastic coach for these sessions but unfortunately due to the low numbers the session has become unsustainable to run.

We believe in the power of community and we are excited to brainstorm some new ways to bring you all together 🥰

✨MEET OUR SWIMMING TEACHERS✨

Hi, my name is Sam Pengelly and I’m a swimming teacher! I’ve worked in education for 18 years and because I’m so passionate about children being able to swim, I decided to extend my knowledge from not only in a school classroom but the pool too! Swimming is a “life skill” and all children should be given the opportunity to learn. The biggest high for me is seeing a child that’s initially scared of the water, shouting from the pool “look Sam, I CAN SWIM!” It doesn’t get better than that! ❤️
