17.01.2022 Swimming is great for cardiovascular health. It is a low impact exercise (meaning there is less pressure on joints) and also improves upper body strength by usi...ng your arms to pull yourself through the water. Just another reason to jump in and #swimmoreworkless . . . . . #focusdealer #welovepools #funfactfriday #activelifestyle See more

14.01.2022 Most of our new families wouldnt know this but several years ago Rachel took time out of her busy schedule to hang out with the VPSC swimmers, share her stories around high performance sport, show her amazing medal collection - which has no doubt grown alot since then - and generally be a great ambassador for being the best at what you are good at. We still have a picture of Rachel and our son from the night. Congratulations and well deserved. Who are the old VPSC families who remember her visits?

14.01.2022 Big congratulations to our Tegan Reder who has just finished competing at the 2020 World Para Swimming Series @ the Victorian Open LC Championships. Fantastic 3 days of racing which saw Tegan swim in heats of 50Bre, 100Fre, 100Bre, 50Fre and 200Fre. She qualified and raced in the finals of the 50Bre (PBing in both her heat and final swims) and achieving a 9th place overall. This swim has also now ranked her as No. 1 in the world for her multi class S11 in the 50m breaststroke. A wonderful achievement. Were all looking forward to seeing you back at training

12.01.2022 This evening we relaunched the outdoor 50m pool at the Aqualife, after about 4 months for upgrades to the dive blocks, the surrounding swim ledge, the guttering..., tiled surrounds and a new submersible pool wall. Special thanks to Steve Irons MP, Federal Member for Swan and the Commonwealth Government for grant funding to contribute towards these valuable upgrades. And further special thanks to Victoria Park Swimming Club and President Jason Frehner for all their hard work helping with the grant application, and lobbying the Commonwealth Government for funding. The pool reopens to the public in about a week when water testing is complete so stay tuned Victoria Park Leisure Centres - Aqualife and Leisurelife #LoveVicPark

11.01.2022 Weve just announced the details of Phase 3 of our roadmap for the easing of restrictions, with significant changes coming into effect on Saturday 6 June. As pa...rt of our carefully planned roadmap, Western Australia is now ready to take the next step. This next step will be significant, and it will be challenging. Before I detail the changes, I will say this - WAs success allows us to move ahead and take significant steps, BUT we all must continue to act responsibly, that means good physical distancing where possible and good personal hygiene. Because if we have an uncontrolled outbreak, I dont want to have to place restrictions back on. We cannot afford to undo all our good work. Phase 3 will be introduced from next Saturday, thanks to the success in limiting community transmission in WA during Phase 2, and on the advice of our Chief Health Officer and State Emergency Coordinator. As part of Phase 3, the follow changes will occur: - Non-work indoor and outdoor gatherings of up to 100 people will be allowed, a five-fold increase from the current 20-person limit. - Up to 300 people will be allowed in some settings, including for indoor or outdoor venues with multiple, divided spaces, with up to 100 people in each space. - All food businesses and licensed premises can now operate with seated service only, and alcohol may now be served without a meal at licensed premises. - All beauty therapy and personal care services can reopen, including saunas and wellness centres. - Galleries, museums, theatres, auditoriums, cinemas and concert venues can reopen with the 100/300 rule followed. - Perth Zoo will open, as can wildlife parks, amusement parks, arcades and indoor play centres. - Playgrounds, skate parks and outdoor gym equipment can reopen. - Gyms, health clubs, indoor sports centres will be able to offer the normal range of activities, including use of all gym equipment. However, Gyms will need to be staffed at all times and undertake regular cleaning. - Full contact sport and training will now be permitted in Western Australia. This will mean from next weekend, people of all ages will be able to start competitive contact sports. - Parents and guardians will be able to enter school grounds to drop off or pick up their children as part of Phase 3. - TABs are permitted to reopen. The Chief Health Officer will separately work with Crown Casino on how the gaming floor could reopen in the future. These are all major steps forward for Western Australia. Phase 3 will be a big leap but its one we can make under the watchful eye of our expert health advisors. The four square metre rule was introduced in line with health advice. I know its a rule that is hurting businesses. Ive been out for dinner in Rockingham and seen tables and chairs stacked up, because the four square metre rule is limiting the number of people that can be in some venues. As was always going to be the case in Phase 2, the four square metre rule prevented a large number of businesses from opening. As we now increase the limit on gatherings to 100, I wanted to make sure we closely assess this rule. Our Chief Health Officer has now advised, that due to WAs hard border with the east remaining in place, Western Australia is now in a position to move ahead of the national advice. As part of Phase 3, Western Australia will be the first State in the nation to remove the rule and instead implement a two square metre per person capacity rule for venues. This will replace the four square metre rule, which is the current national position. This is an important and substantial move forward our State, and I hope it means many more businesses will be able to open and employ more Western Australians. I know its still not perfect, but we are now able to move ahead of the rest of the nation. In addition, as part of Phase 3, Rottnest Island will reopen to the WA general public. Rottnest has served us well as our own quarantine island during this crisis. We can only make these changes because of the hard work of everyone across our State. But in particular our hard border controls give us the flexibility to progress further along on roadmap. Once again, WA has led the way, and I hope our performance can continue to lay the path forward for the other States. Now is the time for Western Australians to wander our great State and support local businesses. Just like Phase 2, we will carefully monitor the introduction of Phase 3 and its impact in our community. Together, as part of a rigorous consultation process involving the Chief Health Officer and Police Commissioner, we will closely assess Phase 3. We will then work towards further restrictions being eased as part of Phase 4 in coming weeks. This will predominantly be focused on even larger gatherings, the new two square metre rule and some of the other existing restrictions. A time for Phase 4 introduction will be determined in the future, but it will follow the approach we have taken between earlier phases.
