22.01.2022 To My Swimming Families So after been at home for the last 2 weeks I was wondering How can I do swimming lessons from home? I don’t have a pool. I don’t have ...any kids at home. I do have swimming students who have to stay home until it’s safe. I do have parents that need help entertaining the kids. And I do have my iPad. What can we do? Well I have been looking at apps that can help us. Zoom or House Party lets us meet up. I can run a dry based swimming lesson to keep our little swimmers going until we can get back into the pool. Let me know what you think? See more

22.01.2022 Good news for pool operators across Australia from the Australian Government Department of Health Gyms, indoor fitness centres and swimming pools do not need to... close at this time as long as they follow social distancing advice and have good cleaning routines in place. Further information and resources will circulated to the AUSTSWIM family tomorrow. See more

18.01.2022 Woo Hoo....we are back in the pool again! We were so happy to get that great news yesterday. (Was actually taken by surprise a bit) I’m still waiting to find out clarity on the protocols, rules,etc, but at this stage we intend starting back for term 4, next week, Monday 26th October. ... I have rolled over enrolments, from term 3. Can you please confirm your intention to return, either pm me or email me your day & time. Looking forward to seeing all those smiles, back in the pool again. X

18.01.2022 Hope you’re missing us, cause we’re missing you! We haven’t been sitting down with our feet up though! We’ve been busy painting inside and out, a nice fresh colour, re tiled the change rooms, they have new doors as well, and some new garden screens near the front door. Can’t wait to get back in the pool and see all those smiling faces. Hopefully we will be able to start back 3rd term, 13th July. Will keep you posted! Stay safe xx

16.01.2022 To anyone who doesn’t think we’ve been doing anything, the truth is we’ve been flat out trying to get pools open and influence government with recommended detai...ls of reopening. Lots of industries have met with Government and provided industry plans etc and Government has not followed their advice. We are not the only industry this is happening to. We are currently a respected voice at the table and a public campaign is our last resort if Government does not act within the next few days. Following our last town hall, the industry and government have broadly agreed on the following: Pools can open to a maximum of one patron per eight (8) square metre, or 40 patrons per pool (whichever is fewer), calculated against the pool surface area. Under 18’s to be excluded from the maximum capacity ratio. Only active swimming participants and guardians of participants under the age of 18 are able to access the pool environment (excluding staff). Changing room facilities, spa pools, steam rooms and saunas to remain closed. For clarity, the above would allow most swim schools to reopen for all U18s without in water density quotients. Further, we are pushing hard for indoor pools to open under the above condition at Step Three. We have been involved with and/or coordinating multiple initiative to achieve this including (but by no means limited to): Meeting with a Federal senator; Letters to multiple ministers including the Minister for Sport; Discussions with the CEO of Sport and Recreation Victoria and his staff; Meetings with members of the opposition; Requests to multiple media for comment and coverage (all unsuccessful) I encourage everyone to try and get media coverage. If you are able to achieve this, key talking points that you could use include: 1. Pools are safe, get them open as soon as possible indoor and outdoor. 2. Learn to swim provides essential skills for like get kids back in the water 3. Squad swimming Kids have dreams to get to the Olympics and swimming is our most successful Olympic sport let them swim before we loose them we need squads back Supplementary information: 1. It’s a week by week proposition for swim school owners, they’ve had 100% reduction in income since March with exorbitant costs. We must support these local businesses who support our kids safety and development; 2. Drownings in VIC have gone up 300% in the past three months over the 5 year average; 3. Research supports indoor pools as being safer than outdoor pools regarding COVID-19; 4. Research shows that kids (u18) do not require social distancing exempt them from any density quotient (see attached); 5. LTS and squad swimming are highly managed and ready to open. I am very happy to provide extensive details on any of the above points including the research which will also be available on ASCTA Connects within the hour.

11.01.2022 Looking forward to getting back into the swim of things!! Term 1 starting Monday 3rd of February. I still have some availability for pre schoolers.

11.01.2022 Sorry everyone, but with stage 3 restrictions returning, we will be suspending lessons from Thursday. Classes will continue as usual today & Wednesday. Please put on hold your payments until we resume. If you have paid in full, it will be credited towards future lessons. If you would prefer a refund, please contact me. I will keep you posted as to when we can start back, classes will remain the same if possible. ... Hopefully see you all soon, take care x See more

09.01.2022 Media Release Industry leaders call for clarity Wednesday 16 September 2020 The Victorian Aquatic Industry Alliance (VAIA) have proposed a safe and viable reop...ening of the aquatic industry to the Victorian Government. Following Premier Daniel Andrews announcement of the roadmap for easing restrictions in regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne, VAIA has proposed options for industry-specific restriction levels that enables aquatic facilities to recover business and reengage communities. As VAIA understands, as of 14th September restriction levels for regional Victoria enabled the reopening of outdoor pools under the heavily restricted category. This category allowed 20 people per pool or 1 person per 4m2 of the total publicly accessible space, whichever number is fewer. The use of showers and change rooms are not permitted, with the exception of toilets. VAIA welcomes the premier’s announcement on 15th September and the release of some further clarity in an early move to a third step for regional Victoria. This allows outdoor pools to increase their patronage to up to 50 people per pool or 1 person per 4m2 of the total publicly accessible space, whichever number is fewer. Step Three also allows for exclusive use of the pool for community sport and for educational based school aquatics. School participation will be dependent on the Department of Education and Training’s excursion policy, upon the return of students to school on October 5. VAIA will continue to seek clarification around what Step Three means for indoor facilities. With Ausplay data demonstrating that swimming is the most popular physical activity for children and the third most popular for adults, opening indoor facilities in Step Three is important for community outcomes, health, wellbeing, and essential water safety education. The aquatic industry has been hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, with most Victorian facilities being closed since March. Every week closures cost the industry $2.5 million in lost learn-to-swim revenue and more than 143,000 children are missing out on swimming lessons. VAIA shares industry concerns that the impact COVID-19 has had on the ability for the community to actively participate in water, will result in an increase on drowning rates. VAIA spokesperson and chair, Amanda Locke, said, The aquatic industry has been hit particularly hard, and now as we look towards reopening it’s important that there is industry-specific guidance. It is important for our industry to have this level of detail now, in order to effectively plan reopening To support the industry, VAIA have provided recommendations to the Victorian Government, which outline a scalable, safe, and financially viable approach to reopening aquatic facilities. The recommendations include scalable density restrictions and for indoor facilities to be able to reopen with heavy restriction under Step Three of the government roadmap. The previous density restrictions applied to the heavily restricted category are not financially viable for many facilities, we need to ensure that there is a scalable approach that ensures reopening is viable for facilities of all sizes, Ms Locke said. VAIA’s recommendations would see facilities under the government’s heavily restricted category able to have the greater of 1 person per 8m2 or 20 people per pool, and pools in the restricted category able to have 1 person per 4m2 in each pool. These recommendations are supported by recent research that suggests there is little likelihood of COVID-19 infection in pool water, due to the controlled humidity and maintenance, making pools a safer sporting environment in the context of COVID-19 transmission. With government continuing to consider the lesser risk of transmission between children, VAIA are also recommending that there are no density restrictions in place for those under the age of 18 years. The environment in which we operate means we are wellplaced to reopen safely. Research tells us that the chance of transmitting COVID-19 in pool water is incredibly low, and that transmission from children is also very rare. Aquatic programs, such as learn-to-swim and swim training are very controlled and structured, and we believe that with COVID-Safe principles in place these programs should be able to be reactivated during Step Three. With the protocols we have outlined in our recommended reopening approach, we believe our industry will be able to reopen safely and in a way that is financially viable, said Ms Locke VAIA will continue to work passionately alongside Sport & Recreation Victoria to provide subject matter expertise surrounding future decisions regarding the government roadmap and the restriction levels within. VAIA will host an Aquatic Town Hall this Friday at 1pm. The event will also be shared across VAIA members and industry pages with links over the next few days. The Victorian Aquatic Industry Alliance (VAIA) brings together key aquatics industry leaders to advocate on behalf of the industry. The alliance members represent; Aquatics & Recreation Victoria (ARV), Aligned Leisure, Australian Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA), Australian Swim School Association (ASSA), Belgravia Leisure, Ford Swim Centre, Kingswim, Paul Sadler Swimland, Swimming Victoria, Yarra Leisure and YMCA Victoria (The Y).

06.01.2022 COVID-19 update: Unfortunately we are still unable to return back for term 4 as indoor pools are still closed.... Even though Regional Victoria has at present a case average of 0.2. There is no clear advice regarding when we can return to swimming lessons. It is very frustrating when other States have been able to continue swimming Lessons since term 3. As it stands now, for indoor pools to open,Regional Victoria, has to wait until there are Zero cases in Metro Melbourne & Regional Vic for 14 days, which is the Last step of restrictions. There has been a strong push from the aquatic industry, through our MPs, radio & television: Swimming Lessons are not recreational but educational and of vital importance, to the safety of our children!! There have been no Covid out breaks in swimming centres and that swimming Pools are safe. It does not make sense that regional Victoria has to wait for Metro Melbourne!! Hopefully we can return at some stage for term 4!! Regards Jenny.

05.01.2022 We are back!! Term 3. Commencing Monday 13th July! To all our families, we are looking forward to welcoming you back. We hope that we can start off where we left off at the end of term 1. ... To help with enrolments can you please private message me your intention to start back with your day and time (just a test to see if you remember, ‘cause it’s been awhile ) For those that need to change or unsure of times, please message,email or phone. Enquires for new enrolments are also welcome!
