MONBULK Aquatic Centre is celebrating its first birthday and everyone is invited.
On Sunday 10 August from 11am-3pm, celebrations will feature a health expo including free massages, family fun in the pool with giant pool inflatable, fitness classes, great prizes and much more, with free entry for all.
South East Dive will also be offering free scuba workshops on the day including snorkelling for five to eight-year-olds and scuba diving for eight- year-olds to adults, and this is a great opportunity to try out scuba in the pool. Bookings are essential, contact the centre to reserve your place.
A range of food will also be available from the centre café “Refresh” as well as a barbecue to raise funds for the upcoming MS 24 hour swim taking place at the centre in October. In the centre’s first MS 24 hour swim, the organisers hope to raise $20,000, and everyone is welcome to participate and can join an existing team or create their own with community members.
Reopening last year following an $8.7 million redevelopment, the centre now boasts a 25m indoor heated pool, program and leisure pool, a fully equipped gym as well as café area and refurbished changing facilities. This enables the centre to host a huge range of programs ranging from aqua aerobics, Zumba, boxing, child care and swim school.
The day will be filled with fun for the entire family, so come along for a great day out. Centre manager Aylie Spence said, “we are looking forward to celebrating our birthday with the entire community”
Whether you are looking for swimming lessons for your children, a kickstart to your summer fitness program or a place to relax with friends, Monbulk Aquatic Centre has something for you.
