21.01.2022 http://SQUAD UPDATE// A quick note to let everyone know from Tuesday, Codie Grimsey will be the new coach of this great little swim squad we have created. Monday Morning will be Trents last squad session as coach. It would be awesome to have as many people as possible who have swam in this squad over the past six years to turn up Monday Morning for one last swim with Trent and coffee after.... Trent started the first early morning squad session back on May 12th 2014 (after nearly everyone he knew told him the 4.15am time slot would never work). Since then its built gradually to be the unique and special squad it is today. Next week Trent will be moving to Bowen (North Queensland) to pursue an exciting new business opportunity. See you all Monday Morning for Trents send off!

21.01.2022 Set your alarms, we look forward to seeing you all bright and early tomorrow morning at Jindalee Pool!

21.01.2022 Beautiful morning!

21.01.2022 NEWSFLASH: NEW COACH ON DECK!!! Hi, my name's Bianca. I am the eldest of the Grimsey clan. Like my brothers, I grew up with swimming; the pool was our second home! I competed nationally in both pool and open water events, specialising in distance swimming. Since retiring from the sport I have coached junior and adult squads, on and off, over the last 14 years. I love to give stroke correction to improve position, speed and efficiency in the pool and help you unlock your p...otential. I am extremely passionate about swimming and excited to set goals with YOU and help you achieve them. What I ask from you? Wake up, show up and put 110% effort in. Goals won't be achieved lying in bed! See you at 4am on deck (Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings).

20.01.2022 This mornings air temperature 4am - 11 degrees 5am - 11 degrees 6am - 10 degrees 7am - 10 degrees... 8am - 12 degrees It may seem like 4:00 a.m. would be the coldest part of the day because its still dark outside, but the coldest part of the day is actually right AFTER the sun rises (which is around 6:00am) Through the course of the evening and overnight, the temperatures continue to drop without the suns heat. The reason it is coldest just after the sun rises is because of evaporation which is a cooling process. The process that explains why its so cold when you step out of a hot shower and also how you keep cool from sweating on a hot day. So, I guess what Im saying is, see you on pool deck Friday morning!

20.01.2022 FREESTYLE CLINIC - 1st of November Now is the perfect time to improve your swimming efficiency and learn about head position, body position, how to mi...nimise drag and maximise propulsive force, how to engage your core when you swim and improve you kicking technique. Whether your goal is to knock seconds or minutes off your time (if you a long distance athlete) or you may just want to expend less energy, this is the perfect swimming clinic for you!

18.01.2022 This Christmas Holiday Season we will be having a two week break over Christmas. Our final pool training session of the year will be on Saturday the 21st of December 2019 the 100x100s Christmas Set. Our first session back will be Monday the 6th of January 2020. During this two week break we will still be holding an open water training session on Sunday the 29th of December 2019. Registrations are now open. See you soon! https://www.grimseysadultswimfit.com/open-water-sessions/

16.01.2022 When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. COME TO FAST FRIDAY TOMORROW MORNING AND YOU WILL SEE!

16.01.2022 John Haughton is an English Channel Swimmer! Extremely tough conditions added a couple of hours to his trip, congratulations John! 14 hours and 57 minutes! Even more impressive to think that 3 weeks ago John also completed the North Channel (North Ireland to Scotland)

01.01.2022 http://ADULT SQUADS CANCELLED// We would like to say thank you for your continued support of our business. The updated government advice released last night, Sunday ...22nd March, regarding the reduction in places of social contact/distancing, has led us to make the responsible decision to temporarily cease all of our adult squads (in both the pool and open water), for the safety of our customers and staff, Effective immediately. This includes all locations (Spring Hill, Ferny & Samford). At this stage, we do not know when squads will recommence, however when the decision has been made, you will be the first to know. We will be keeping you updated regularly, so keep an eye out for our emails and activities. For future updates and information, please visit our website or social media channels. Please stay safe, heed to hygiene and social distancing requirements, and please look after each other. We look forward to getting back in the pool/ocean and teaching swimming again.
