08.01.2022 To all our members and their families. Hoping you are all safe and well.

07.01.2022 A message from Yr 11 Emmanuel College - and not just for today but everyday.. When you stand at the top of the breakwater - Life can be related so similarly to the ocean. We are lucky to live on the South West Coastline.... On the right, the ocean can be rugged, unpredictable and at times a scary wild sea. On the left, the ocean can be calm, playful, inviting, and controlled. So too is life - The similarities with life and the ocean are far too common. Some days, like in life; all is calm and magical - the beauty of the color of the sea and how you could float on it all day. Other days, like in life; its chaotic, unpredictable, and a big mess. The importance is to remember that the ocean is never exactly the same day in day out. The same with life. Things are going to happen to you in this lifetime where you think it's the worst ever. Like a lost boat at sea or being dumped by a huge wave - in life; A job rejection, a breakup, a speeding fine, a friendship argument, (remote learning!!) Know that life can thrash you around; like the southern ocean and you can bask in the beauty of life's stillness, fun, and calm. Remember, however, that there is always someone there to help you and who cares about you. And you are valued you are loved. Enjoy your day. And be sure to ask 'R U OK?"

07.01.2022 Warrnambool Masters Swimming Club Inc member John Sheely has a lunchtime dip every day during the week. Together with his usual weekend ocean swims he has swum... a consecutive 130 days and he is doing #whatweneedtodo Plus he made it into the local The Standard. Go John! #whatweneedtodo - Check in with each other, keep connected, wear a mask, get tested, follow the restrictions, support local and stay apart as all this will keep us together. #wearevictorians #staysafe #keepconnected #msvswimmersrock #wecandothis

06.01.2022 Service Announcement!

06.01.2022 We are officially one week into our reopening It has been so nice to welcome back our members and community into Aquazone. We thank all users for their effort...s in following our new processes and working together to help keep each other safe and active! We have been reviewing our usage and have been able to increase the number of sessions you are able to book. You can now book 4 sessions, per activity (gym, swim, group fitness) per week. Currently, our memberships will remain on hold. However, if attending multiple sessions, it may become more cost effective for you to request a restart of your membership.

Great news is we still have spaces available in all sessions this week, so make sure you call to book if there is a class or session you are interested in! Aquazone continues to work towards re-establishing our Learn To Swim program. Any communications regarding this will be sent directly to families and updated via our social media.

04.01.2022 Whilst some members have been bracing the cold waters of the Lady Bay during the current pandemic, everyones favourite paediatrician and Club Member Dr Nick Thies has been keeping himself busy in a different way. Dr Nick, who is renowned for having many tricks up his sleeve, put his stethoscope and magic wand aside to produce model glider kits for older children to make whilst theyve been stuck at home. He has even produced a YouTube video on how to make them. You can read... all about Nicks venture in todays Warrnambool Standard - we have attached the link to the article, but you do need to be an online subscriber to read it. What a great initiative Nick
