WEEK 7 AT AQUATOTS! (5 at Googong)

We’re swimming into Week 7 and this week make-up lessons are now open for families swimming at Forde, Gold Creek and Black Mountain.
Make-up lessons can be booked through the Parent Portal. If your child is going to miss their regular lesson, please remember to mark them absent. This opens their spot for another swimmer who may be looking to book a make-up lesson β€” helping everyone get more opportunities for valuable water time!
Googong families: You’re in Week 5 this week, so your make-up lessons will open a little later due to your different term dates.
Keep up the amazing consistency, Aquatots families β€” every lesson counts as we head towards summer!

Don’t forget to hand in your completed Winter Wave Makers stamp sheet for your chance to WIN A TERM’S WORTH OF SWIMMING LESSONS!

We have absolutely loved seeing the consistency of our Winter Wave Makers throughout the winter swim season. All that time in the water means so many local children are building stronger skills, confidence and water safety ready for the upcoming summer season.

Well done, Wave Makers – now make sure you get those stamp sheets in!

πŸ†βœ¨ WHAT A NIGHT FOR AQUATOTS! βœ¨πŸ†

We are still taking in what an incredible result this was for Aquatots at the 2026 Australian Swim Schools Association Awards of Excellence.

To walk away recognised across so many different areas of our swim school is something we are incredibly proud of:

πŸ₯‡ NATIONAL GOLD – Swim School of the Year
Aquatots Forde – Over 1,000 lessons per week

πŸ† REGIONAL WINNER – Innovation

πŸ† REGIONAL WINNER – Community Service
πŸ† REGIONAL WINNER – Employer of Choice
πŸ† REGIONAL WINNER – Swim School Owner of the Year – Alena Sarri

These awards represent so much more than trophies on a wall. They recognise the things that are at the very heart of Aquatots – our people, our innovation, our commitment to water safety, the development of our team and the contribution we make to our community.

Most importantly, none of this happens without our 183 incredible team members who turn up every day committed to making a difference. Every instructor, Team Leader, Aquatic Leader, back-office team member, manager and support team member has played a part in these achievements.

And to our wonderful Aquatots families – thank you for trusting us with your children and allowing us to be part of their aquatic journey. Your continued support allows us to keep growing, improving and pushing ourselves to be better.

For more than two decades our purpose has remained the same: to teach children skills that can last a lifetime and help create stronger, safer and smarter children through the power of swimming. πŸ’¦

To now be recognised as the National Swim School of the Year is an incredibly special milestone.

This belongs to all of Team Aquatots. We did it! πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ†

πŸŒΈπŸŠβ€β™€οΈ SPRING IS COMING… AND SO ARE THE MAGPIES! 🐦😳

There are plenty of reasons to choose swimming as your sport…

β˜€οΈ Great for fitness
πŸ’ͺ Builds strong bodies
🧠 Great for growing brains
πŸ’¦ An essential life skill

But as Spring approaches, we’d like to add one more…

MAGPIES CAN’T SWIM. πŸ˜‚πŸ¦πŸ’¦

While the runners and cyclists are out there dodging angry birds, we’ll be safely in the pool perfecting our freestyle. 😎

πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ Swim smarter this Spring.
🐦 Avoid the swoop.
πŸ’¦ Choose Aquatots.

Disclaimer: We cannot confirm that magpies have never considered learning to swim. πŸ˜‚
