Transition Update
Members
BlueFit is excited to commence operations of the Fleurieu Aquatic Centre on Wednesday 1st July. It is important to note that in almost all cases, it will be a case of ‘business as usual’ for members, however we understand you will want to understand what these changes mean for you.

All membership data has been securely transferred.We are excited to confirm that new equipment will be available on site from Wednesday 1st July. This includes updated strength equipment and new cardio pieces. We understand that you may not be familiar with the newer gym equipment. We will have additional team members available to assist you with any of your queries and to show you how to use these new pieces.

Families - Transition Update
We are very excited to welcome you to the BlueFit Swimming family!
Starting Wednesday 1st July, Fleurieu Aquatic Centre will transition from YMCA to BlueFit All current YMCA learn to swim enrolments will transfer to the BlueFit Swimming program.
With this change, students will notice new signage and uniforms, but class times will stay the same.
BlueFit Swimming is an industry leading learn to swim program that operates more than 60 swim schools across Australia. Our program builds swimming skills and confidence through structured levels with 8-10 skills each. Students move up levels once they master all skills in their current level.
You might see some different skills in BlueFit levels compared to YMCA. During the first two weeks, we will observe lessons to ensure proper level placement. If you have any concerns, please speak with our team on the pool deck.
Please note that there is nothing for you to do to continue your enrolment. Your child's level name and lesson structure may change slightly to align with the BlueFit Swimming program. There may also be changes to their swimming lane and teacher. We are working closely with the team to limit the amount of changes required.
Scan in at Reception: Swim School students will now scan in at reception before their lesson. This new process replaces the use of turnstile gates to ensure a more personalised experience for everyone.
There may be some teacher and lane changes to accommodate the learning outcomes of the program. Please reach out to the team on deck if you have any questions regarding your lesson.
