Self-care is not selfish; it is essential for maintaining mental, physical, and emotional health, allowing you to show up as your best self. By prioritizing well-being, you increase resilience and capacity to care for others too.

When was the last time you took care of yourself? If you can't remember, it has been too long.

We all show up differently some days.
It’s OK not to be OK — and it’s important to look out for ourselves and each other, today and always.

We also take a moment to honor our friend and team mate Gaje, whose passing is a reminder of how vital these conversations are. Please check in on one another, reach out if you’re struggling, and know that support is 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 worth seeking.

What do you get when you combine an algal bloom (❌beach swims) with a lovely hot 🥵summer?

Breakouts of Cryptosporidium at our local pools 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Crypto is parasite that is chlorine resistant at typical and safe pool disinfectant levels which is why pools have to close for days to increase the concentration of chlorine to knock it out 🤜

The solution is simple: Keep the pool clean 🫧🧽
👉 don't enter the pool if you are unwell and for 2 weeks after you've recovered
👉 Try not to get pool water in your mouth
👉 Change nappies in designated areas and make sure swim nappies are well fitting
👉 shower BEFORE getting in the pool (might be weird but it keeps contaminants OUT of the pool).

Help our pool operators keep pools open for all to enjoy and everyone healthy.

Swimming while sick can contaminate pool water and make others sick too.

Don’t get in the pool if you’ve got diarrhoea and avoid swimming in pools for 2 weeks after having diarrhoea.

Other swimmers can become infected by swallowing a very small amount of contaminated pool water.

In the days since Gaje’s passing, we have had a number of people ask how they can help, and other than continuing Gaje’s legacy of love, warmth and kindness, a GoFundMe page has been set up to assist his family and honor the impact he had on all of us.

Please consider donating- any contribution is immensely helpful, as is sharing the link to the donation page. The beneficiary of all donations made is Gaje’s family.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share our team mate and friend, Gaje, passed away yesterday. Gaje was part of the Hydrilla family for five years, starting as a service technician and growing into his role as service manager. He was well loved by everyone who met him and worked tirelessly to care for our customers and work mates – no request was too big or small.

We extend our deepest condolences to Gaje’s family, friends, and loved ones. His dedication, kindness, spirit, and smile will be remembered and cherished always.
