RLC Health Wellbeing and Socio-Economic Impacts Discussion Paper

In May 2019, Council resolved to engage a principal consultant to develop a discussion paper investigating what opportunities for health, wellbeing and socio-economic outcomes the redevelopment of the Reservoir Leisure Centre could achieve for the Reservoir community.

Applying a holistic public health and community development framework, the consultant will build on the feasibility study, which was informed by community consultation throughout 2019.

This project will run through to the end of October 2020.

All outdoor personal training (PT) sessions are held in accordance with State Government regulations and have a COVIDSafe Plan, ensuring safety and hygiene at all sessions. All sessions will be run outside at Reservoir Leisure Centre, in a safe, designated area.

3. Our pools are heated and we have a 25m pool
4. We offer a year round on-going, progressive program.

There really isn't anywhere better to learn to swim in Darebin. Our Swim and Survive program will teach your child, or yourself, vital life skills. Living in Australia we are surrounded by water. It's part of our lifestyle, so make sure you and your family are safe in and around the water.

We follow the progressive Swim and Survive program which is a comprehensive swimming and water safety initiative of the Royal Life Saving Society that seeks to increase the swimming and water safety skills of all Australian children in order to prevent drowning and increase participation in safe aquatic activity.

Wonder, Courage and Active have been chosen as the Swim and Survive program titles to reflect the hopes and aspirations of children and families as they embark on a lifetime of fun and safety in the water.

Each program is structured into skill strands that ensure a balanced, comprehensive instructional approach to a child's aquatic education.

RLC is proud to have been the first leisure centre in Victoria to hold a Trans and Gender Diverse (TGD) Swim Night in early 2018.

A recommendation of Darebin’s Sexuality, Sex and Gender Diversity Advisory Committee, these events have been developed to provide a welcoming and safe environment for trans and gender diverse members of our community to enjoy exercise.

Working with Transgender Victoria and the Victorian Pride Centre to develop a successful framework for hosting these events, we’ve since shared our experience with leisure centres in neighbouring municipalities. There are now several TGD and LGBTIQ inclusive events happening regularly at leisure centres across Melbourne.

Along with access to the pools, our TGD events have expanded to include access to the gym facilities and group fitness classes.

These events are open to trans and gender diverse people of all ages — if that’s you, come along, get some exercise or just hang out and socialise and in a safe and supportive environment. Friends, partners and families are welcome.

Entry is $3.00 at the door – no bookings required.

Upcoming dates
TGD Community Nights at RLC will return in 2020. Follow us on Facebook to be the first to know!

Here’s what some of our past attendees have had to say:

“What a very special evening. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen. I had such a great time. It was a safe and friendly atmosphere. Met such lovely peeps. Thanks Darebin City Council.”

“Thank you so much for creating such a positive and safe space for us. There was so much care and consideration.”

“That was fun. Thanks, Reservoir Leisure Centre for accommodating us and making us feel welcome. Admittedly I was nervous about coming but I felt comfortable the moment I walked in the door. Your staff were really friendly and nice. I couldn't have asked for more.”
