March 16, 2009 ELLENBROOK - MARCH 2009
WELCOME
By now many of you will be back in
'full swing' with the school routine and
outside school activites and hopefully
enjoying a bit of 'me time', hopefully!
Stateswim Ellenbrook would like to give a
warm welcome to our two new customer
service officers Hayley Stonehouse and
Courtney Perry (pictured). Also welcome
on board all of our new swimming instructors.
Why not grab a State Swim bumper sticker from reception and be in the
running for a month of free lessons for one family member.
See below for more details and this month's winner.
Recently we have received a high volume of phone calls which we are
handling to the best of our ability, promptly and efficiently. We do
however, acknowledge and apologise for some delays you may be
experiencing. To help address the situation we ask that if you are having
difficulty getting through by phone, that you try to call between 12 and 3pm,
between lesson times. You can also contact your swimming school via the
State Swim website www.stateswim.com.au
We have set up a message service that will advise the caller the
above details too, so that you are not left wondering if you have called the
right number. State Swim value your feedback, so please let us know
if we can improve your and your child's swimming experience, email us
on admin@stateswim.com.au
Thank You
VICTORIAN BUSH FIRE APPEAL
Thank you to everyone who has got behind the Victorian Bush Fire Appeal via State Swim or other associations. We raised in total $9221.20, it’s amazing what you can achieve when the challenge is upon us, well done to everyone involved. $1215.20 was donated through our various tins, ice cream containers and even an old ‘fireman’s’ helmet on the receptions desks at each swimming school. State Swim itself, donated the remaining $8006. Funds raised will be used to provide assistance to individuals and communities in towns and suburbs affected by the 2009 Victorian bushfires.
An independent panel made up of community leaders will oversee the Appeal Funds operation.
Please note: Red Cross will not deduct any costs from public donations to cover Appeal costs. All interest earned on donations will be invested back into the Appeal.
UV WATER PURIFICATION
Did you know that at State Swim pools use the UV Water Purification system?
Ultra Violet light is similar to using the rays of the sun for water purification,
it's non chemical, presents no danger to use and is the most natural of
methods to help purify the water. A UV System will not eliminate the use of
chlorine totally, as under our health regulations we are still required to
maintain a certain level of chlorine at all times.
For you, our swimmers, this means:
More gentle on babies' skin
No more red eyes and/or skin irritations
Better environment for asthmatics
Water clarity is improved and is fresher and cleaner
Reduced wear and tear on bathers
Less use of chemicals means it's better for the environment
Until recently swimming pool operators have had little choice but to use
traditional chlorine disinfection systems. The UV water purification system
has proved that ultraviolet treatment with low levels of chlorine has major
benefits over any of these traditional methods.
Please see our website www.stateswim.com.au for the full article.
HEALTH & SPORT NEWS
Now that school is well and truly back, we
will be extremely busy making sure State
Swim children are the best prepared at
school carnivals. Therefore we will keep
on pursuing the best possible technique
and continue to challenge swimmers at
all levels.
Get ready for the next Super Swim on
Thursday 26th March, 6-7pm. All Team
Gold, Silver, Bronze and 400 Gold members are encouraged to attend.
A big congratulations to Larissa Murfit for achieving all personal best
times in her interschool carnival. Larissa brought home three second
place ribbons and one third place. A great day's swimming!
Well done Larissa keep up the wonderful swimming.
