Here at BlueFit the safety of our community is important to us. To help you keep sun safe this summer we have gathered a few tips and tricks.

According to the Cancer Council there are many ways in which we can reduce our risk of skin cancer. The following are six simple ways you could improve your safety:

Slip:

Slip on lightweight clothing that covers as much skin as possible. It is recommended that you wear a collared shirt that will help protect the back of your neck from sun damage.

Slop:

Slop on SPF30 or high broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. It is recommended that you apply a generous amount of sunscreen at least 20 minutes before going outside. This includes applying it to your head, neck and each limb (front and back).

Slap:

Slap on a hat. Cancer Council suggests wearing either a broad brimmed, legionnaire or bucket hat. These all cover your face, nose, neck and ears.

Seek:

Seek shade and a cool place to rest. The best way to keep sun safe is to avoid being directly in the sun.

Slide:

Slide on a pair of sunglasses. This will help to avoid any eye damage that the sun may cause.

Slurp:

Slurp on a cool drink of water, or possibly a hydralite. This helps to maintain your levels and avoid any possibility of dehydration.

Important Reminder: Although the sun may not be shining every day this summer, the UV rays are still out and stronger than ever! These are the days that we need to incorporate the above steps more thoroughly.

Cancer Council have also developed an app to help you keep track of your sun activity and furthermore improve your sun safety! You can view more information for the SunSmart App here.

What is the Active Kids Voucher?

The Active Kids program is one of the more than 70 NSW Government rebates and savings that help you to save on everyday costs. The program was developed as an initiative to increase activity in the youth of NSW.

Each year families are eligible to receive a $100 voucher from the state government to use towards ongoing sports lessons.

These vouchers are available for each child between the ages of 4.5 years old and 18 years old. To be eligible for the Active Kids Voucher the child must be enrolled in school and have a Medicare card.

Complete the form below to have your voucher used for one of our programs. Our staff will process your voucher and you will receive a confirmation email and a credit applied to your account when it has been processed. If you do not receive an email straight away, don’t worry, it could be that our staff have received a high volume of voucher uploads and are still in the process of activating them. If it has been a while and you still have heard nothing, feel free to contact our friendly Customer Support team on 1300 252 583.

Please ensure you list your child’s full name and the correct voucher number as this may delay the time taken to process and redeem your vouchers. If you have used your voucher for another program it will no longer be valid and therefore can not be used by BlueFit.

For one week only, BlueFit Swimming transformed all of our aquatic centres into superhero training grounds. Throughout the week, our swimming instructors educated students on all things water safety with a specific water safety lesson plan. This includes educating students the following:

• Identifying risks in an aquatic environment
• Learning how to minimise these risks
• Practising our recovery positions and procedures
• Completing safe reach rescues and tows

We are thrilled to report that all our superheroes and their sidekicks were successful in maintaining a safe and happy environment.

With summer just around the corner, there’s never been a better time to ensure your children are ‘swim safe summer’ ready. Find out more about our BlueFit Swimming program here.

A special message from BlueFit Swimming General Manager, Michele:

“BlueFit Swimming had a blast with all our students in November during safety week. Dressing up to acknowledge our summer superheroes and to share some water safety tips with our younger students to help keep our local communities safe. If we have been able to provide some safety & rescue strategies that our students can utilise to help prevent an accident or assist in an emergency we believe we have made a difference. Building our Summer Super Heroes!”

Check out some of our little sidekicks below in their best dressed superhero costumes!
