23.01.2022 Congratulations Val Silva! FINALIST for Aquatic & Recreation Victoria's 'Swim Teacher of the Year Award 2020'! Val has been working at Healthways for 11 years teaching swimming and working in customer service, and last week she was named as a Victorian Industry Award Finalist. She says "my dream ever since my teenage years was to be a Physical Education teacher specialising in swimming." She says "I still remember the feeling after leaving my interview, that feeling of excitement and hope of finally being able to follow my dreams. When I’m in the pool, teaching, I forget about everything else! I love the water and the people I work with! But most of all I love when one of my students, being a child or an adult, realizes they can swim and move independently through the water. It’s the most beautiful feeling!" Congratulations Val!

21.01.2022 Today is Remembrance Day On the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month, a minutes’ silence is observed and dedicated to those soldiers who died fighting to protect the nation. Lest We Forget

12.01.2022 Blowing bubbles when swimming is an important part of learn to swim as it helps you learn breath control and progress their swimming abilities. Getting used to blowing bubbles with your face in the water can be hard at first, but with practice it becomes easy and swimming even better. Practice at home in the bath to improve on your bubbles and feel confident when returning to swimming lessons! Here are some fun games and tips to help with getting used to blowing your bubbles ...in the water! 1. Practice with your chin in the water, and slowly place more of your face in the water. This helps you get more comfortable with the feel of the water on your face! 2. Get some toys and make them swim by blowing bubbles! This is heaps of fun for young kids and helps build their confidence when blowing bubbles. 3. Talk to some fish! Get your child to talk to the fish in the water by blowing bubbles. Who knows what could be there, fish, mermaids, or sharks? Happy bubbling!

02.01.2022 BACK FLOAT An important part of learning to swim involves your child being comfortable on their back with water surrounding them. You can help them get used to this sensation by starting with just a small amount of water in the bathtub and laying your child on their back. As your child gets more comfortable, raise the level of the bathtub water gradually for your child to lay on their back with the water covering their ears, and their face above the water line. Depending on the level of water your child may feel the floating sensation. This skill should be practiced slowly and progressively, and often takes time and patience before your child will feel comfortable. Take your time and don’t be discouraged if your child isn’t comfortable with this at first!
