It is 2018! Welcome to a new year, and a calendar full of Summer events including the Summer Fun Day at Casey RACE. At Casey ARC we have the Wibit, our floating obstacle course, which will also be at Casey RACE and Doveton Pool in the Park this summer. Speaking of Doveton Pool in the Park, it is open over 30 degrees and the entry price now includes the slides.

In this episode we catch up again with Craig Albery and see how the Tiger Sharks did at the State Challenge where 33 from the Tiger Sharks attended with fantastic results. We also draw a winner for a 12 month membership at the Casey centres.

Ever wanted to work for the centre? Want to know what you need to succeed? Jacqui and Gabby talk us through what we are looking for and how to go about applying for a role.

Meet Special Guest, Sean Van Velsen. Sean is a qualified Exercise Physiologist who works at ARC and EHLC. We discuss pre-season training for AFL football players and what they should be doing at this time.

What's happening this summer at our centres? Find out from Barry and Jacqui as they give us a rundown of activities to look forward to.

Casey runs the Casey Tigersharks, our dedicated swimmers, who get up early every morning to hone their skills in swimming. Meet Craig Albery from the Casey Tigersharks as he tells us about his past and his coaching of the Casey Tigersharks.

YMCA Casey plays a big role within the Casey region but we also work closely with other YMCA centres in Melbourne especially our neighbours in Dandenong. Meet Trudy Micallef, Centre Manager for Dandenong Oasis, and learn more about the three centres in Dandenong.

Our Learn to Swim teachers are world class. Two of our teachers, Tash and Jasmine, have been in Vietnam with Water Safety Vietnam, teaching young children to swim. Learn about their experience.

Meet Carly Sanders, Casey RACE Centre Manager, and learn about her background and recent trip to Darwin. We also discuss the opening of Bunjil Place, the City of Casey's new arts, cultural, leisure and entertainment precinct, and YMCA Casey's winning of the Health, Education and Well-being Award at the recent Casey-Cardinia Business Awards.

With this warm weather, Summer is definitely close. In this podcast, meet Jacqui, our new Aquatics Manager, and learn about the benefits of participating in swimming and water safety lessons.
