From 1–21 September, we're getting behind AUSactive's Million Moves challenge, a national push to get more of us active. Right now, around 75% of Australians aren't moving enough to benefit their health. We want to help change that, one minute at a time.

Here's how it works: pledge to move for 15, 30 or 60 minutes a day for 21 days. Walk, swim, lift, stretch, dance, whatever gets you going. One minute of movement equals one move.

Movement is what we do every day, and this September we're inviting our community to pledge alongside us and help build the habit, together.

Sign up free at millionmoves.org.au and let's get moving.

All the best to our Customer Service Officer, Sophie. She is heading to the UK for 6 months on an exchange to study law at the University of Bristol.
We look forward to seeing Sophie back on the desk when she returns.

We already know that learning to swim is cool, but regular practice also helps kids retain muscle memory, confidence, and kicks skill regression to the kerb 😎👋

This Sunday July 26th, the pool at Purruna will be closed for swim lessons and casual swimming due to college events.

Wellbeing classes and courts remain available and are not affected by the pool closure.

Drowning Prevention and Safety Week is here.

All week, our swimming lesson students are practising the skills that matter most if in the water. How to manage themselves, and developing the skills to help others should something unexpected happen.

It's a timely reminder for the whole family, not just the kids in lessons. Check the pool fence latches at home. Talk through what to do if someone falls in unexpectedly. Make sure everyone knows where their nearest adult supervisor is at the beach, river, or backyard pool.

Friday 25 July is World Drowning Prevention Day. Wear something blue to your child's lesson this week to help us raise awareness.
