A great spotlight on Rainbow Club from our friends at BayFit and Laverton in Victoria. 🌈💙

Rainbow Club has been delivering specialised swimming and water safety programs at both BlueFit-managed centres for the past three years, giving more local children and young people with a disability the opportunity to learn, participate and enjoy the water.

We love seeing our local clubs, teachers and members celebrated, and partnerships like this helping make aquatic centres more inclusive and accessible for families.

Thanks to the teams at BayFit and Laverton for sharing our story and supporting Rainbow Club in your communities.

What makes Rainbow Club different? 🌈

Sometimes it's what happens behind the scenes.

Our Accessibility Support Officer, Erin, works with families, teachers, allied health professionals and our wider team to help develop individual support strategies for members who need them.

With experience spanning swim teaching, behaviour support and psychology, Erin helps turn specialist knowledge into practical support that can be used where it matters: in the pool.

It's another layer of expertise behind our teachers and our members.

Our CEO Johanna Pitman recently attended the DSC Annual NDIS Conference, joining conversations about the changing disability landscape and what it means for participants, families and providers.

Johanna shares some of her key takeaways, including the importance of listening to participants, supporting our teachers through change, strengthening partnerships and continuing to advocate for the role swimming and water safety can play in the lives of children and young people with a disability.

As the NDIS continues to evolve, these conversations are more important than ever. 🌈

Our Regional Manager Alison said it was a great morning with “so much connection and learning”.

Thank you to Carer Gateway for joining us. We look forward to bringing these visits to more Rainbow Club communities over the coming months.

💚 Bringing more support to our Rainbow Club families

At Rainbow Club, we’re always looking for ways to better support our members and families and connect them with organisations and services that can make a difference.

That’s why we’re pleased to be working with Carer Gateway to bring their support directly to our Rainbow Club communities.

Over the coming months, Carer Gateway will be visiting selected clubs, giving families the opportunity to have a chat, ask questions and find out what free support may be available to them as carers.

First up is The Ponds Rainbow Club this Saturday.

By working with organisations like Carer Gateway, we can help make it easier for families to connect with valuable support, right within their local community.
