24.01.2022 Don’t forget about our Learn to Swim Holiday Intensives! JHSC Learn to Swim is offering Holiday Learn to Swim Intensives in January 2021! The first week from the 4th-8th of January and the second week from the 18th-22nd of January. Do you know of some of the benefits your children receive when participate in Learn to Swim Intensives? Here are a few of them!... 1. Children will cover a months' worth of their regular lessons in just one week! Whether children need to focus on refining or expanding their skill set, repetition enables retention of key swimming concepts, resulting in rapid progression of water confidence and technique. 2. Continuity in learning process! With back to back lessons, the shorter time between learning will increase children's retention rate of the skills they learnt in class the previous day. 3. Provides a structure for the school holidays! An intensive swim program is a great way to break up the school holidays and provide a structured balance between fun and learning. 4. It's fun! During a holiday swim program, children will have the chance to splash about and cool off in the pool while developing their skills. Intensive swim lessons are also a fantastic way for children to meet new friends along the way. Questions? GREAT! Email me (Sophie) on mini [email protected] Enjoy your holidays!

17.01.2022 HAPPY MONDAY Dont FORGET to RENEW TODAY Please note that the 10% discount is not of the total fee, it is on the Jambo Registration fee portion thus the figure in Swim Central is not a perfect 10% discount as the Swimming Queensland (SQ) portion charged by SQ is not discounted. For eg: a... Competitive Swimmer 8&U Fees = $105, 10% discount applies to the Jambo portion $51, thus $5.10 discount results in a final amount of $100.01 Hope this clarifies the differing amounts.

17.01.2022 Some updates for our Jambo racers... We were spread out here, there and everywhere, flying out colours loud and proud! A few more medals and some happy faces.... ~~~ Woogooroo LC Meet (last weekend): Samantha Parkinson- 200 I.M. & 50 free P.B. . .

15.01.2022 Brisbane Metropolitan Relay Champs 2020! What a day it was. On Sunday, 9 fine Jambo athletes arose to the challenge of the Brisbane relays. Most of the athletes photographed below raced 3-4 times and even up an age category to help their fellow team mates field a team. We fielded 6 teams in total... 5 U.14 teams and 1 U.16 team. ... Although we may not have placed in any of these races, our swimmers held their Jambo caps high and some even received some very respectable P.B’s. Sometimes loosing more than winning. That’s when you learn the most. I’m a very proud coach and slept well on Sunday knowing all my swimmers did their absolute best.- Coach Billy. Well done team Jambo!! See more
