to the ceiling of the Indoor Pool. The installation will

important for children to keep swimming throughout
the cooler months.

HOLIDAY INTENSIVES
Why is the Intensive
Program so beneficial?
Studies have shown that young
children (8 years and under)
require at a minimum 100 hours
to learn the bare essentials of
any stroke. On a regular basis
one lesson a week equates to 2
hours contact time a month.
An intensive program can
provide at least the equivalent of
one month worth of lessons in
one week. This consistent skill
reinforcement can only benefit
the students progression and
understanding.
The intensive program also
provides a fantastic platform for
students who have recently
advanced to a new level or those
students who may need to work
upon a particular element.
SWIMMING THROUGHOUT
WINTER
The benefits of swimming
throughout winter cannot be
underrated. Winter provides a
perfect opportunity for students
to develop their stroke and/or
increase their degree of water
safety in preparation for the
warmer months rather than
waiting for the warmer months
to arrive and struggling to catch
up. This is especially important
for beginners as we are trying to
increase their degree of water
safety as quickly as we can and
as high as we can.
The swim school environment
during these months tends to
become less chaotic which may
also help those students who
struggle to stay focused.
NEWEST SWIM SCHOOL TEAM
We would like to introduce
Kirsten to the teaching team.
Kirsten hails from Brisbane and
is extremely passionate about
learn to swim- especially the
toddlers and infants!!! Kirsten
will be around primarily in the

School!!

WHICH CAKE TO BAKE??
So have you all been thinking
about which cake you would like
to bake???
Make sure you come and see me so we can write down
your next recipe to success.
This month will be more drill and technique work. Its a
great time to look at your stroke and get rid of all those
bad habits to help you swim faster.
Remember that swimming 3kms correctly is more
beneficial than just swimming lap after lap of bad
swimming.
We have Hervey Bay triathlon in May.
Charity Island swim in August and then
the brand new Sunshine Coast Half Iron
Man in September. So lots to look forward to and lots
of hard training.
Swim tip for the month:
Check that your head position down and not forward
while your swimming. You may be pushing against the
water and not flowing with it.
Jess
Happy Easter and Happy Swimming.
Training Times
Also if you are swimming some sessions on your own
Tuesday: 7.55am-8.55am & 6.00pm-7.00pm
try and count your strokes. The less strokes per lap the
more efficiently you will be swimming.
Wednesday: 6:00-7:00am
There are some big events coming up in the next few
months...

News with Scott Drogemuller
As everyone may have heard I will
be away for half of April,
honeymooning with my new wife in Thailand! And
can't wait.
Below is some exercise information regarding
diabetes that I hope you might get something out
of.
Exercise in some one form or another is highly
recommended by healthcare professionals for
many reasons in relation to Diabetes.
Exercise
Tones and strengthens your muscles.
Helps you to maintain a healthy weight.
Can use up energy and lowers blood sugar
levels (High levels relate to Diabetes) help to
reduce stress.
Can increase your lung capacity which helps
increase the amount of oxygen that flows into
your blood stream.
Helps to improve circulation of blood around you
body which in turn reduces the risk of disease to
the Arteries.
Lowering of Cholesterol and Blood Pressure
benefit greatly with a regular exercise program.
Exercise also helps to release “ENDORPHINS”
the feel good hormones.
How much exercise
Generally it is recommended that exercise for 30
minutes five times a week can make such a
change to your overall health and wellbeing.
Although if you have not exercised for some time
it is advisable to start at a slow steady pace and
gradually build up.
There are still times when you should not
exercise.
Exercise and illness can be a bad mix, so if you
are not feeling well or you insulin levels are too
high it is recommended that you do not participate
in exercise.
Exercise can make you levels increase even
further.
Your blood glucose levels will rise to fight off
infections so all your insulin will be needed to do
it’s fighting.
If your blood sugar levels are greater than
15.0mmol/L it is advisable not to exercise.
Suitable Activities
While all exercise is beneficial, everyone is
different and what might suit one person may not
suit another.
While walking is great exercise, if your feet suffer
through Diabetes swimming or cycling may be a
better options.
Taking care of your feet is important, so wear
socks and suitable well fitting footwear while
exercising.
Combining aerobic activities such as walking,
swimming or cycling with resistance and weight
bearing training seems to have the best results.
Aerobic activities burn more calories and glucose,
but resistance and weight training builds muscle
which in return burns calories and glucose during
exercise.
Looking forward to seeing you all when I get back
from holidays. Remember eat clean and train
hard! Cheers Scotty
