Unfortunately due to a mechanical plant power outage overnight, the pool temperatures across our centre today are cooler than usual today.

The pools have recommenced heating from 8:15am this morning but due to the mass of water it will take some time to get back to the desired temperatures.

We apologise for the inconvenience

Meet Jaime

Jaime has been a member for over 10 years.

This what Jaime had to say:
“I am 84 years old and my wife is 89 years old. My wife had an accident in 2018 which resulted in her being left wheelchair bound. I care for my wife and feel that my fitness and strength from regularly attending the gym is the reason I am able to care for her and stay independent 💪💪

My favourite exercise and machine is the leg extension which keeps my legs super strong! 🌟

I love coming to Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre because I always feel comfortable and know many familiar faces. I have made many friends and the atmosphere is great. I always walk out feeling proud of myself.” 🫶🫶🫶

We are very proud of our staff member Johann, who is now in Paris preparing to compete for Samoa in the 2024 Paris Olympics 🏊🏽‍♂️

Johann is a Lifeguard and Duty Manager and trains at BAWC with ⏱️

You can tune in to watch him race his 100m Freestyle, which will be in the heats session from 7:00pm AEST on Tuesday 30 July 👏👏

Today a team of our wonderful lifeguards are participating in the 2024 Pool Lifeguard Challenge

The team is participating in a range of wet and dry life saving scenarios including a spinal rescue in a wave pool and a heart attack in a spa.

It’s also National Drowning Prevention Day today and a good reminder that listening to the directions of lifeguards could save your life 🫶

🔑 Our key tips to keep you safe at our centres:

💧Let a lifeguard know that you’re not a strong swimmer. It can be as simple as “Hey my name is Charlie and I am not a good swimmer please keep an eye on me”

💧Supervise children and follow the watch around water policies

💧 Enrol into swimming lessons - kids or adult lessons

💧 Check the depth of the water before entering. Make sure you are safe.

💧 Go swimming with a friend
