24.01.2022 Speed with Style Manning Park 17/05 Hi Everyone, It was fantastic seeing so many of you at our recent Manning Park Training session. I thought you all put in such a fantastic effort. I know I was certainly tired for the rest of the day!... Due to the success and positive feedback of last Saturday, I will be running the session again for this Sunday. I'm looking to run the same two time slots: 9:00 - 9:45 10:00 - 10:45 There are 8 places in each time slot (to stay under the restriction numbers). I will confirm the bookings as a first come basis via email [email protected] More information on social distancing measures will be provided to those who have confirmed their position. The session is suitable for all ages / skills, as it will be modified accordingly. It is strongly recommended to bring a mat or a towel that can be placed on the ground, as I can not allow the sharing of equipment. Kind Regards JJ Williams 0468 577 521

17.01.2022 Speed with Style during COVID-19 Hi Everyone, I hope you have all been keeping well over this tricky time.... I thought after having a little break from swimming, I would touch base to get everyone back involved with swimming. Not only is it important to stay active, but I also believe it is important to stay connected! Moving forward, I will be running a series of free online activities aimed towards keeping everyone thinking about swimming and having fun! This will include workouts, Q & A's and much more. To start it off, we have a Pilates training session that is designed to build strength and stability towards swimming, this will help to develop and maintain a better body position in the water for when they return to swimming. Ross Davis has been kind enough to donate some time in making this session for us. When is the session? Sunday the 26th at 9:00am Does the session cost anything? No this is a free session Who can participate? Squad Members aged 10+ How long is the session? The session will run for just over an hour (Pilates session itself is 45 minutes). What do I need? You will need a mat of some kind (as the floor could be a bit hard!) and water nearby to stay hydrated. What program will be used? You will need to set up a Zoom account https://zoom.us/ The plan is for us to all meet on the app for 9:00 this Sunday to have a quick chat about some activities that can be done to help maintain fitness, followed by the pilates session. If your child is interested in participating, please send me an email, I can then provide you with further information regarding the session. [email protected] I look forward to seeing you online this Sunday! For those who are not able to make this session, or it's not suitable for you. Stay tuned as I will have other activities in the coming weeks! Kind Regards JJ Williams 0468 577 521

15.01.2022 Hi Everyone, We are excited to be able to offer 2 holiday programs in January that will really help the progress of your child(ren). 1. Pre-Squad (5 Days/1 Hour: Monday 11th to Friday 15th).... 2. Accelerate (3 Days/45 mins: Monday 18th to Wednesday 20th) See images for more details. Give us a call to book in either (or both) programs

13.01.2022 It was great meeting two of the latest Speed with Style swimmers at Cannington. Both Alyssa and Leona had a great time, and a big thank you for your lovely drawing. Looking forward to seeing you again next week :)

11.01.2022 Speed with Style Manning Park 09/05 Hi Everyone, It was fantastic seeing you over the different sessions last weekend. ... With Mothers Day on Sunday (make sure you spoil your mums!), there will be no Pilates this week. This Saturday I am looking to do something different. With the current guidelines by the Government, I propose the following: Circuit training session at Manning Park (Meeting at the carpark below the giant stairs). This will be a fun session that will operate similar to the "Card Session" that I run at squads on occasion (I will have a non-contact solution for the handling of the cards). I'm looking to run two time slots: 9:00 - 9:45 10:00 - 10:45 There are 8 places in each time slot (to stay under the restriction numbers). I will confirm the bookings as a first come basis via email [email protected] More information on social distancing measures will be provided to those who have confirmed their position. The session is suitable for all ages / skills, as it will be modified accordingly. It is strongly recommended to bring a mat or a towel that can be placed on the ground, as I can not allow the sharing of equipment. Kind Regards JJ Williams 0468 577 521

Sunday 03 May at 9:00am - Pilates, session 2. - This session is for Squad Swimmers aged 10+ - Building from the Pilates session last week, Ross has developed another program for us all.

07.01.2022 Speed with Style and Coronavirus. In response to the current situation with the coronavirus Goodlife Gyms Australia, which both our centres are within, have released a response on their Facebook page (see below). Essentially they are increasing their cleaning and sterilisation of surfaces and equipment and making sanitising wipes more available. In addition, they have reposted basic hygiene information, which should be followed anyway, irrespective of the current situation. W...ith regard to swimming pools, our understanding is that the virus cannot live in properly treated chlorinated water. Details are in the link below https://www.hpsc.ie//Advice%20note%20to%20EHS%20on%20Coron Please note that they are referring to only needing 1mg/l or 1ppm. Pools in Australia have to be kept between 2 and 3 ppm (depending on usage of cyanuric acid). The water at both of our centres is tested 3 times a day, and is also a statutory requirement for running a commercial swimming pool. In swimming lessons and squads the swimmers are predominantly kept on the move, there is very little time where anyone is spending extended periods in close proximity to each other, and of course they are swimming in chlorinated water. Risk cannot ever be completely eliminated, but we believe that swimming is likely to be lower risk that many activities. We will remain open for both squads and swimming lessons We recommend that everyone follows basic recommended hygiene practises, including washing /sanitising your hands after touching surfaces that people use frequently, for example door handles. Of course if you are experiencing symptoms, then please do not attend your class or squad, and contact us so that we can arrange make up lessons for when recovered. Thank-you for your continued support, and if you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate to contact either JJ or Nigel.

07.01.2022 A big thank-you to everyone who responded to the training session for Saturday. We are now fully booked. Sorry for those of you who missed out, hopefully I will be able to see you on the next activity we run.

04.01.2022 Speed with Style: Temporary Closure We are sorry to announce that, in line with the Prime Minister’s announcement last night, that all gyms and indoor sporting venues must close by midday today. ---... What does this mean for Speed with Style lessons and squads? We will have to close temporarily, effective immediately, thus all lessons and squad sessions are suspended. However, we will reopen the moment we are allowed to. --- Suspension of payments. We have suspended all lesson and squad fees from today. --- When will Speed with Style resume lessons and squads? We will have to be guided by the Government; as soon as the suspension on gyms and indoor sporting venues is lifted, we will resume lessons and squads immediately. --- How will I know when Speed with Style will resume? We will be in regular contact with you, letting you know what the current status is, and sending through information and training tips. --- Squad swimmers It is going to be very important that swimmers try and maintain their fitness during this pause in their training. We will be offering some land based training opportunities with us; details will be posted over the coming days. In addition, we will be sending you information on things that you can do, specifically for swimmers, to try and maintain your fitness. --- Learn to Swim classes For all of our families, we will guarantee the day and time of your lesson(s) for when lessons are available again. For our younger swimmers it is probably just important to keep them physically active, as much as is possible, during this difficult time. --- In Conclusion We are very sad that we have had to temporarily close, we feel that our families and athletes have all made tremendous progress during their lessons and training. We are also extremely pleased that our swimmers have such terrific attitudes, and put in such tremendous effort for each lesson or session. You have certainly embraced our ethos of Have Fun, Learn Fast, Swim Fast. However, there are always challenges in life, and this is an opportunity to help our children understand that problems will always occur in our lives, we have to accept that, but how we deal with them is the most important thing. Rest assured we will maintain regular contact with you, and as soon as it looks like we will be allowed to reopen, we will let you know. We hope that you all stay safe and well, and we will be in contact with you all soon. Kind Regards JJ & Nigel
