Keep learning in winter and be more prepared this summer!😎

The progression rate of swimming skills is determined by how often kids participate and practice.

The more practice, the faster the progress and a break in practice usually results in having to re-learn previous skills.✔️ ✔️

Taking a break in winter means taking a step back in skill preparation for summer.

Keep warm after lessons and wear a beanie!☃️

A common misconception is that swimming in winter can cause colds, when actually children are no more likely to catch a cold from swimming during winter than during summer.

A properly chlorinated pool is one of the cleanest places a child can be!

Just be sure to fully dry off, pop on a beanie, warm clothes and even some cosy uggs and enjoy your lessons all year round.😍

Swimming Lessons is a great winter activity, stay enrolled!

I can take a break in winter and pick up where I left off - MYTH!🤯

Consistency is an important component of skill acquisition.

Staying enrolled in Swimming Lessons with the Y all throughout the year ensures skills and confidence do not regress during a long break in practice.🏊

Swimming Lessons is a great winter activity, stay enrolled!

I have Parkinson’s Disease (PD). It is a neurodegenerative disease for which there is currently no cure. It affects over 100,000 people in Australia.

PD has a range of symptoms that often includes a shuffling gait, tremors, stiffness and in many cases, dementia. While it is known as a motor disorder, there are many other non motor symptoms related to PD – digestion problems, loss of sense of smell, sleep problems, anxiety etc.

I don’t have tremors, and my motor symptoms only impact my left side. So far, my mind is still pretty sharp. I keep it active doing puzzles, socialising, writing and reading.

The causes of PD are largely unknown. There is some evidence that environmental factors play a role. A small percentage of people develop PD due to a mutation in one of their genes. I have that version. My father and brother both developed PD and my son unfortunately carries the gene.

It is knowing that my son has an increased chance of developing PD that has motivated me to support PD research by raising money. I make and sell alternatives to wrapping paper called “Prezziesax”. I’ve made more than 800 of them and raised nearly $6,000 for PD research through Shake It Up Australia Foundation (an affiliate of the Michael J Fox Foundation). 100% of the money donated to Shake It Up goes to fund PD research. If you are interested in finding out more about Shake It Up, or wish to make a donation visit, https://shakeitup.org.au You can find me on Instagram and Facebook. Search Prezziesax for Parkinsons. I’d love to sell you some Prezziesax so if you are interested, email me at [email protected] I will send you a link to my DropBox where you can see samples.

If you see me at the gym, I’m more than happy to answer questions. I’m usually there Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Exercise is very important in slowing down the progression of PD and for my mental health. Some days you may see me hobbling around with my stick. Other days I’m racing around like a thing possessed. That’s PD for you!

Getting PD was a blow to me and my family, but by staying active and engaged I am leading my best life.
