🐧💙 FRIDAY FLASHBACK! 💙🐧

Well, here's a little Shellharbour Swim Academy throwback for you..

Does anyone remember when our instructor Ron hatched a little "penguin egg"?!🥚🐧😂

🙋‍♀️ Who was around for this one in 2015? Do you remember what name was chosen for our little friend? 🤔

We need to know if anyone has a better memory than us! 👇

Drop your memories (and your guesses!) in the comments. Let's see who remembers this little piece of SSA history!

Disclaimer: no it's not a real penguin egg 😂

One for the kids.
This is Ron's penguin egg. Keep an eye on it over the coming days and weeks. Watch it hatch and grow into a penguin. We will update regularly.

🎃👻 TRICK OR TREAT? HALLOWEEN WATER SAFETY EDITION! 👻🎃

Think you know your water safety? It's time to put your knowledge to the test! 🏊‍♀️

We've got 4 spooky statements, but can you spot the TRICKS from the TREATS? 👀

🎃 1. My child is only in shallow water, so I can safely step away for a moment.
🧙 2. If my child can float on their back, they can always get themselves out of trouble in the water.
🛁 3. Water safety rules are just as important at bath time as they are at the swimming pool.
🧛 4. If my child has been swimming confidently for months, I don't need to stay within arm's reach when they're in the water.

💬 COMMENT BELOW! Tell us which ones you think are TRICKS and which are TREATS!

We'll reveal the answers in the comments this Sunday, so get the whole family involved! 👇 🎁

And who knows… One lucky commenter might just receive a little treat from us! 👀🍬

Remember, the best Halloween treat of all is keeping our swimmer's safe around water. 👻

🏊‍♀️ A little preparation goes a long way..

We all want our swimmers to get the most out of their lessons, and sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference!

From arriving ready to jump in to creating a positive mindset before they even reach the pool, a little preparation can help your child feel more comfortable, confident, and ready to learn.

✨ Our biggest tip? Keep it positive! Encourage your little ones to give things a go, celebrate their efforts (not just their achievements), and remind them that learning something new takes time.

Every swimmer progresses at their own pace, and that’s perfectly okay!

Let’s work together to make every lesson a happy, confidence-building experience 💙

Ever wondered what our Sunset Avenue pools looked like before they became the home of all those splashes, smiles and swimming lessons?

Well, here’s a little throwback to 2014 when it was all still a work in progress!

Hard to believe this is the same place, isn’t it?! 😲

A whole lot of swimming, memories and lost property later… we are still here! 💙😂

It's taking a little longer than we would like but there is progress !!
