<div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="023d4e02-00d3-449e-b4fb-8d5b05ae6f24"><p>On Sunday, 18th October, we threw open the doors at Hurstville Aquatic Centre for our Community Open Day, and the vibe was absolutely electric. Seeing over 1,000 people from our local community come through the doors to swim, play, and connect blew us away.</p><p>There wasn’t a dull moment all day, with non-stop action and smiles no matter which part of the centre you visited. Here is a look back at the highlights:</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="e46b4ca5-1fb6-4dca-9bad-c78a50167bdc"><h4>Action Across the Centre</h4></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="e4525c60-b8ea-41e8-aecc-bb68885df379"><p><strong>In the Pools</strong></p><p>The aquatic energy was at an all-time high. Both of our water slides were firing all day, and the leisure pool was packed with happy splashers. Our dedicated Swim School Managers were also out on the deck, sharing plenty of swimming tips and handing out high fives.</p><p><strong>In the Stadium</strong></p><p>We went all out to create the ultimate kid-friendly zone. With three giant inflatables, competitive soccer shootouts, and engaging gymnastics activities, the kids were bouncing non-stop.</p><p><strong>In the FX30 Room</strong></p><p>For those looking to break a sweat, the FX30 room was the place to be. A fantastic crowd turned up to test their fitness and smash out some fun, high-energy workout challenges alongside our expert trainers.</p><p><strong>Out on the Grass</strong></p><p>We couldn't have asked for better weather. The sun came out just in time for lawn games, epic face painting, and providing plenty of space for families and friends to simply chill out, chat, and enjoy the day.</p></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="4c590755-f6e0-47ba-b78d-e58f6e0cc061"> <div class="gallery"> <div class="gallery-viewport"> <div class="gallery-track"><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="0"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed016e92ce59c21354c119_Image_918B9A7C-7645-4453-9944-34DC26CD2E80.jpeg" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="1"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed017f7717ff8d8b4f3859_Image_82D3FAA3-2794-489A-A4C0-77059FF2B2AC.jpeg" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="2"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed018c92ce59c21354c9c8_Image_138FBCDD-E87D-42D4-A370-18CE69AF8C6A.jpeg" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="3"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed019a76190505db4be8a7_Image_B68DFC1B-8253-4793-BB8C-30CFE9C35143.jpeg" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="4"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed01a41aa4e2e47ebe828e_Image_1E3DD6D0-5F62-4437-A19A-4E87FDB9F3FC.jpeg" alt="" /></div><div class="gallery-slide" data-slide-index="5"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/69e60c844549cbb9257cd00e/6aed01af28130b64b9646db1_Image_C374EE98-7CA6-4544-A0D6-DE22362B375A.jpeg" alt="" /></div></div> <button class="gallery-arrow gallery-arrow-prev" aria-label="Previous image"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><polyline points="15 18 9 12 15 6"></polyline></svg></button> <button class="gallery-arrow gallery-arrow-next" aria-label="Next image"><svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="20" height="20" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2.5" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><polyline points="9 18 15 12 9 6"></polyline></svg></button> </div> <div class="gallery-dots"><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="0" data-active="true" aria-label="Go to image 1"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="1" aria-label="Go to image 2"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="2" aria-label="Go to image 3"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="3" aria-label="Go to image 4"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="4" aria-label="Go to image 5"></button><button class="gallery-dot" data-slide-index="5" aria-label="Go to image 6"></button></div> </div></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="92ce6314-2646-482e-b947-8268629bf781"><h4>A Big Thanks to Our Partners &amp; Team</h4></div> <div class="block-wrapper" data-block-id="30903b16-05c2-4a4a-a206-ad51ed15400e"><p>At BlueFit, nothing beats teaming up with local legends to give back and support great causes within our community. A huge shoutout goes to our partners (<strong>the Rotary Club, Chatime, and Thrive</strong>) for coming down, sharing what they do, and making the day extra special for everyone who attended.</p><p>We also want to give massive props to our superstar staff and lifeguards. Running an event for over 1,000 people is no small feat. Their hard work ensured that everything ran smoothly, safely, and with plenty of smiles from start to finish.</p><p><strong>Thank you, Hurstville!</strong> We can't wait to see you all back in the centre again soon.</p></div>
