Holiday activities at leisure centre

The Peninsula Leisure Centre is currently taking bookings for its school holiday activities.

Marketing officer Mr Andrew Stuart said the centre had interviewed two mothers whose children used the centre.

"We wanted to find out how their kids had enjoyed the centre's Easter Holiday program, and what they would be doing this time around," Mr Stuart said.

Joanne has two boys, Lachlen 11 and Joe 7.

Louise has Lauren aged 11 and Amy just 6.

"Lachlan did the skate and surf day last time and had a great time," Joanne said.

"He came back full of new ideas for tricks and moves, and has spent weeks at the skate park perfecting them.

"I put Joe in the intensive swim school program.

"He just loves the water, but I wanted him to gain more confidence, particularly so he can enjoy the waterslide at the weekend with his big brother.

"This time he's swimming again, because he got so much out of the daily lessons and his technique came on in leaps and bounds.

"But I'm also going to put him in for the basketball clinic too.

"He's just started playing at school."

Louise said: "Lauren did the netball, which I was a bit worried about, but she came back full of enthusiasm.

"This time she wants to learn about being a goal attack or shooter.

"I put them both in the kids club for a couple of afternoons.

"They had a ball with all the different activities."
