Georgie Parkes SWIM SCHOOL

☀️ FRIDAY NIGHT SWIM CLUB IS BACK IN TERM 4! 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

Summer is nearly here, and so is Ironside Swim Club!

Club Nights are one of our favourite parts of the season. Yes, there’s racing and the chance to improve your times, but it’s also about catching up with friends, cheering each other on, grabbing something from the BBQ and spending a relaxed Friday evening together as a community.

From Prep to Grade 6 and above, kids can take part in timed 25m, 50m and 100m races, while our younger “tadpoles” can join the fun with their free assisted 25m swim.

📅 Friday evenings in Terms 4 and 1
⏰ From 5.45pm
📍 Ironside State School Pool
🌭 BBQ & canteen every week
💙🤍 Racing, friends, family and plenty of summer vibes

We can’t wait to see our Ironside families back around the pool.

Bring on another great summer together! ☀️💦

We are very excited and happy to introduce our newest GPSS instructor at Ironside…..
Mr Leo!!
Leo completed his teacher training earlier this year. In addition to his own experience as a competitive national level swimmer, he is a previous Ironside student and GPSS swimmer! Leo also brings extensive knowledge and positivity to our pool deck as the proud son of our super head coach Coach Stefano!
Welcome Leo!! 🎉

Let’s get ready for summer swimming!!
Whether it’s for fun, fitness, friendship or to fulfil a dream……GPSS swimming lessons combined with Ironside Club racing is the place to be!

Summer swimming is nearly here ☀️🏊‍♂️

That means plenty of racing and plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved with ISC 🔵⚪️

Not sure how to join the club or enter meets? Send us a message or just grab our Head Coach Stefano at the pool — he’s usually pretty easy to find 😄

And make sure 1 November is in the calendar: Brisbane Relays Championships!
Fast swimming, loud cheering, team colours everywhere and, most importantly, relays are just way more fun than swimming on your own.

Bring on summer! 💙🤍

Great job Miss Anna…. We are proud of you! ⭐️

Anna kicked off the Queensland Short Course Championships by smashing 2.54 seconds off her 50m Butterfly PB! 💥

She’s proudly flying the Ironside flag this weekend. If you see her around school next week, make sure you give her a big cheer! 🦋🔵⚪️

A new and fabulous opportunity to get the ‘edge’ for your swimmer ⭐️
Technical efficiency is the most critical component of improving swimming performance.

CONGRATULATIONS to our GPSS race team for your wonderful efforts representing IRONSIDE at BRISBANE JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS today.
Congrats also to our Head Coach Stefano. Your constant care, encouragement, enthusiasm and the spirit you coach all of our swimmers makes our pool deck a positive and happy place. Your technical knowledge and swimming instincts for developing young swimmers is outstanding. Thank you 🤩

If you have a lane you have a chance.
Fabulous gutsy swim from Kai from lane 1.
CONGRATS young man. ⭐️🎉🇦🇺

Kai Taylor, the son of Australian swimming royalty Hayley Lewis, has shocked the Commonwealth Games by taking out the 200m freestyle final from the outside lane — just as his mum did 35 years ago to become world champion.
