A Stronger Commitment to Community Wellness

Sarah Fea • February 11, 2025

K-Life is expanding community wellness programs with new fitness and swimming initiatives at the Killarney Swimming Pool. Now part of the K-Life network, the pool offers a welcoming space for all ages to stay active, build confidence in the water, or simply enjoy a swim.

Why learning to swim matters

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in young children, making water safety skills essential from an early age. Learning to swim not only teaches children how to navigate the water safely but also builds confidence, coordination, and overall physical fitness. It’s a skill for life, opening up opportunities for recreation, social activities, and even future sports participation.

Our Learn to Swim program helps children develop these critical skills in a safe and supportive environment. Weekly classes are available Wednesdays from 3:30 pm, with experienced instructors guiding children of all ages, including babies, through structured lessons designed to enhance water confidence and ability.

Fitness and wellbeing for adults

Swimming isn’t just for kids—it’s one of the best low-impact exercises for adults, offering a full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, heart health, and joint mobility. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, looking for a gentle way to stay active, or wanting to build endurance, our Swim Fitness and Aqua Aerobics classes provide an effective and enjoyable way to move.

A low-impact, all-ages workout, Aqua Aerobics is now available Mondays at 4:30 pm and Wednesdays at 8:30 am. This gentle yet effective exercise helps improve muscle tone, flexibility, and cardiovascular health while being easy on the joints. The heated 28°C pool makes every session comfortable year-round.

Join in!

💰 Cost:

Learn to Swim: Pool entry + $10 per lesson per child

Aqua Aerobics: Pool entry + $10 cash per session for the instructor

Killarney and District Community Connections Expo Brings Community Together

By Dannielle Hersant • June 12, 2026

Connecting people, strengthening partnerships and supporting a more resilient community. On Saturday 30 May 2026, the Killarney Recreation Club came alive with community spirit as more than 400 people attended the inaugural Killarney and District Community Connections Expo . Proudly coordinated by K-Life and the Killarney Co-op and supported through the Southern Downs Regional Council Community Recovery and Resilience Program, the Expo brought together more than 40 community organisations, service providers, businesses, sporting groups, emergency services and volunteer organisations, all with a shared goal of strengthening connections across our region. The event provided local residents with the opportunity to discover the many services, activities and supports available throughout Killarney and the surrounding district. From healthcare and aged care services to volunteer groups, education providers, sporting clubs and community organisations, the Expo showcased the incredible range of support networks available within our community. One of the key aims of the Expo was to improve awareness of local services and create opportunities for people to connect with organisations that can support their health, wellbeing and community involvement. The event also highlighted the important role volunteers play in keeping our community vibrant and connected. Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed meeting local service providers, collecting information, entering lucky door prizes, participating in community surveys and learning more about opportunities available within the district. The K-Life Men's Shed sausage sizzle and refreshments helped create a welcoming atmosphere where conversations and connections could flourish. The Expo was also an important opportunity for organisations to network with one another, strengthening referral pathways and fostering new partnerships that will benefit the community long after the event has concluded. Community survey data collected during the event will assist K-Life and local stakeholders to better understand community needs, identify service gaps and support future planning initiatives aimed at improving health and wellbeing outcomes across the region. K-Life would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the Expo, including exhibitors, volunteers, sponsors, community groups, local businesses and attendees. Special thanks go to the Killarney Co-op, our volunteers, and the many organisations that gave their time and expertise to support the day. The overwhelming response from the community demonstrates the value of bringing people together, sharing information and strengthening local connections. At K-Life, we believe that strong communities are built through collaboration, and the success of the Killarney and District Community Connections Expo is a wonderful example of what can be achieved when communities come together. We look forward to continuing these conversations and building on the partnerships and connections formed through this event.
