23.01.2022 We have started on the huge task of processing the photos from the SunSmart Country Pennants carnival in Mount Barker on the weekend - an amazing carnival. We h...ave thousands of photos and it will take time but in the meanwhile here's a few more from the first 2 hours of Saturday morning. The photos will be loaded into 2 hourly (approx) sessions so if you know what time you swam it might assist you to find the photos you're looking for. The first session has been loaded to the website - it also includes a few shots from the training session on Friday and then Saturday morning from the start up to 10.00 am. Hopefully there will be more by tomorrow night. Photos can be purchased from the site - payment can be by credit card or Paypal and a link for an immediate hi-res digital download will be emailed to you. We hope you enjoy viewing the photos - it was a lot of fun taking them. The website address is: www.downunderimages.com

17.01.2022 VacSwim has finished for another season, was great to see all the kids enjoying their lessons. Congrats to those who passed a stage and to those who didn't remember to keep practising or as Dory would say "just keep swimming!" Thank you to our VacSwim Centre Supervisor Caryn and her team of swim teachers for all their work over the 4 weeks, it is much appreciated.

17.01.2022 It's been another busy day processing photos from the SunSmart Country Pennants carnival in Mount Barker last weekend. What a great carnival. There's over 1500... photos on the webpage and I haven't finished Day 1 yet. We hope you enjoy taking a look through the album - and we hope we captured everyone at least once, we certainly tried. There's a lot more than 1500 photos yet to come so take your time checking them out. We've broken them down into 2-hour blocks but the crossover times may be out by a few minutes - we didn't synchronise watches with the cameras. You can view the photos on our website: www.downunderimages.com If you have queries feel free to contact us by email at: [email protected] Meanwhile, here's a few samples during the period 10.00am to 2.00pm on Saturday.

17.01.2022 There is a great opportunity for interested Year 11 and 12 students to become qualified swimming instructors and gain employment with the Department over the su...mmer holidays. The Minister for Education and Training has announced that we will be funding eligible students to obtain an accredited Swim Australia Teacher (SAT) qualification and a CPR qualification. To be eligible, students must be at least 17 years of age at the start of Term 4. They are not required to have already completed a minimum level of swimming stage. As part of the course requirements, students will need to: attend a one-day face-to-face course (CPR and SAT) complete up to 30 hours of self-paced online learning participate in a supervised teaching placement with us. The training will be available across the metropolitan area and in specific regional centres. Ongoing support and mentoring will be provided to all trainees. On completion, students can then apply for swimming instructor positions across the State. Information for students and their families can be found at education.wa.edu.au/swimming. Registrations for the course close 10.00am, Monday 16 November 2020.

All members, visitors, spectators or parents of children will be required to register their contact details by either signing a contact reg...ister at reception or by scanning the QR code that is displayed at the reception counter.
