WaterMarc is the largest aquatic and leisure facility in Victoria's northern region and a significant employer of young people.
WaterMarc in partnership with BNLLEN hosted local school students to Make your Mark, an event to showcase opportunities in the Sports and Recreation industry.
Staff in different roles from reception through to management shared their career journey and offered real world advice. The enthusiasm of the speakers was inspiring.
Some of the take-aways of the session were:
· If you love Sport and Recreation, start applying for entry level jobs such as a casual pool lifeguard. This first step can open up more pathways into a career.
· Some people build great careers over time in a non-linear way, and that’s ok.
· Seek opportunities to do what you love to maximise your chances of working in this industry.
Students took a break from listening to participate in some exercise classes!
Thank you to the staff at WaterMarc for providing this fantastic opportunity for senior students.
Loved seeing some of the swimmers at DVE Aquatic Club in action last night at WaterMarc. Thanks to Heather and Paul for updating me on how the club is going; I'm pleased to be supporting upgrades to club equipment through a federal Stronger Communities grant.
Could you please put up online this week's lap lane availability? The one that's there finished yesterday :(
Best swimming place! I love doing my laps here I feel so comfortable I wanna come back everytime I leave😀 WaterMarc
I also wanted to shout out a thanks to one of the lifeguards (Lennie) who had a little chat with me today at 12:00pm it's nice to see the lifeguards interact with the visitors like that, it makes us feel appreciated for the lifeguards to take the time to have those little chats 😇
Hi watermarc visitors, for those who don't know where to find the lap Lane availability, here's a screen recorded video on where it is located on their website 😇 I'm not a worker from watermarc just a community visitor
Once again could you please, please, please put up the lap lane availability?????🤨🤨
Hi Watermarc Admin, could you kindly upload the weekly lap lane availability ahead of the coming week? Every week we sit down as a family to plan who is exercising and when, and it is very hard to do this when we have no idea how many lanes will be available and when. Many thanks, Sheree Le Lacheur
Could you please ensure that the lap lane availability is up to date on the Web? This morning was disastrous with only 2 lanes (1 slow, 1 fast) available to the general public. Had I known this I wouldn't have come. Not happy :( 😧
Hi WaterMarc,
I just wanted to check if your Spilsh Splash classes will be offered at the same times (11am and 11.45am) now that the class has moved from Mondays to Fridays?
Thanks heaps
