Four more CVM operated pools achieve Platinum safety status!

Safety is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we’re incredibly proud to share that four more of our aquatic centres in Logan City Council have achieved Platinum Pool Endorsement from Royal Life Saving Society Queensland Inc.

The highest level of recognition under the Platinum Pools Program, the endorsement recognises aquatic facilities that demonstrate exemplary standards in aquatic safety, risk management, supervision and operational performance.

The four CVM-operated centres recognised are:
🏊 Beenleigh Aquatic Centre
🏊 Logan North Aquatic & Fitness Centre
🏊 Logan West Aquatic Centre
🏊 Gould Adams Park Aquatic Centre

Each facility achieved 100% compliance across rigorous aquatic facility safety assessments, building on a continued commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety.

Logan City Mayor Jon Raven announced the four Platinum Pool Endorsements, presented by Paul Barry, Executive Director of Royal Life Saving Society Queensland Inc, with Cr Karen Murphy and Cr Mindy Russell joining the celebration. Accepting the awards on behalf of CVM were Nicky Sloan, Chief Operating Officer; Tom Mills, Director of Safety & Systems; Nick Myler, Director of Operations; and Eugene Swart, Regional General Manager for our Logan pools.

For our teams, this recognition represents the work that happens behind the scenes every day, from lifeguard supervision and operational procedures to risk management, safety systems and continuous improvement.

And with Logan’s aquatic centres welcoming more than 493,000 visits last financial year, creating safe and welcoming environments for our communities has never been more important. We’re incredibly proud of our CVM teams and the role they play alongside Logan City Council and Royal Life Saving Society Queensland in delivering aquatic facilities that our communities can trust.

As summer approaches, we look forward to welcoming Logan families, swimmers, learners and visitors back to our pools.

WE ARE ALL BORN TO SWIM 🏊‍♀️💙

Water is part of so many of our favourite family moments.
The excitement of jumping in. The laughter that comes with a big splash. Learning something new. Watching grandparents, siblings and parents share the water together.
But before children can confidently enjoy those moments, they need the skills to feel comfortable and capable in the water.

That’s where the journey begins.

Swimming lessons give children the opportunity to build confidence, develop essential water safety skills and gradually become more independent in the water.

And every child’s journey looks different.

Some will swim for fun.
Some will swim for fitness.
Some will swim for life.
And some might discover a love of racing.
There’s no single destination.

What matters is giving every child the opportunity to start their journey and build skills they can carry with them for life.

Everyone is Born to Swim. 💙

BORN TO FLOAT 💙💦

There’s a moment when a child realises they can trust the water.
Maybe it starts with being supported.
Then a little less support.
Then suddenly, they’re floating on their own.

It might look like a simple milestone, but learning to float is an important part of becoming comfortable and capable in the water.

It teaches children to relax, control their breathing and understand how their body moves in the water. And perhaps most importantly, it can help build the confidence to stay calm and keep learning.

Like every part of the swimming journey, it takes time. Some children find it easy straight away, while others need a little more encouragement and repetition. There’s no rush.

Every float, every kick and every attempt is another step towards greater water confidence and lifelong water safety.

Because sometimes the biggest progress happens when a child simply learns to trust themselves.

Born to Float. Born to Swim. 💙

WE'RE BORN TO SPLASH 💦💙
Because sometimes the best part of swimming is making the biggest splash possible!

The giggles.
The jumping.
The kicking.
The bubbles.
The “do it again!” that somehow never gets old.

For children, these little moments of play are how they build a happy, positive relationship with water.

And as their confidence grows, so does their curiosity. They become more comfortable trying new skills, exploring what their bodies can do and discovering just how much fun water can be.

Learning to swim gives children the skills and confidence to enjoy those moments while building lifelong water safety skills along the way.

Because every child’s swimming journey looks different.
Some are cautious. Some are fearless. Some are born to make a really big splash. 😂

There’s no right way to start, just plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and have fun.
Born to Splash. Born to Explore. Born to Swim. 💙🏊‍♀️

WE'RE BORN TO LEARN.

One of the most beautiful parts of learning to swim is that progress doesn’t always look like a huge milestone. Sometimes it’s something tiny.

A child who used to hold on finally lets go.
A nervous swimmer puts their face in the water.
A kick becomes a little stronger.
A float lasts a little longer.
And suddenly, something that once felt difficult starts to feel possible.

That’s what makes the swimming journey so special. It teaches children that they don’t have to get everything right the first time.

They can try.
They can wobble.
They can have another go.

And with encouragement and consistency, confidence grows.
Those lessons reach far beyond the water.

Because learning to swim isn’t just about becoming a better swimmer. It’s about developing capability, independence and confidence that children can take with them wherever life takes them.

Born to Learn. Born to Swim. 💙

WE'RE BORN TO EXPLORE 🌊
There’s something about water that brings out a child’s natural curiosity.

The splashing, kicking, bubbles.
The “what happens if I do this…?” moments. Every little discovery is part of learning to feel comfortable and confident around water.

For our swim family, watching that confidence grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of the swimming journey.

It’s not about rushing to the next skill or expecting every child to progress at the same pace. It’s about giving them the opportunity to explore, discover what their body can do and build positive experiences around water.

Because when children feel confident, they’re more willing to try, learn and challenge themselves.
And those early moments of exploration can become skills they carry with them for life.

Every child has their own journey.
Let them explore it.

Born to Explore. Born to Swim. 💙
