Free family fun at local aquatic centres

THE City of Greater Geelong’s aquatic centres will host free Family Fun Days over the coming months.

Kardinia Aquatic Centre in South Geelong and Splashdown in Whittington will offer plenty of free activities, including free swimming, pirate-themed games, prizes and giveaways, face painting, plus a visit from the Webstar Swim School mascot.

City of Greater Geelong Mayor Bruce Harwood said the free family fun days were a great chance to take the kids along for an enjoyable day out and experience everything these pools had to offer.

“Kardinia and Splashdown are all fantastic aquatic centres, with programs and a range of facilities for all ages and abilities,” Cr Harwood said.

“We’re proud of these centres, and we love seeing them full of happy families keeping active and engaged in the community.”

The free events provide a great way for families check out the centres and the programs on offer for 2019.

They also focus on encouraging kids to keep active, enjoy swimming and learn how to be safe around water.

Please remember children should be supervised at all times in and around pool areas.

The free Family Fun Days are at Kardinia Aquatic Centre on Saturday February 2 between 12pm and 3pm, and Splashdown on Saturday March 2 between 12pm and 3pm.
