Imagine a gender equal world, free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive, where difference is valued and celebrated.
This International Women’s Day (IWD), we join the global movement to celebrate women’s achievements and reaffirm our commitment to advancing gender equality.
Observed for over 100 years, IWD belongs to everyone who believes in creating a more inclusive world. It’s a day to celebrate progress, raise awareness about ongoing challenges, and take action to drive meaningful change.
2026 Theme: #GiveToGain
This year’s theme, #GiveToGain, reminds us that when we invest in women, through opportunity, support, and advocacy, we all benefit. Giving our time, resources, and voices helps build stronger workplaces, stronger communities, and a more equitable future.
At Lane Cove Aquatic Centre, we are proud to support International Women’s Day by celebrating the women in our teams and communities and continuing our efforts toward greater equity and inclusion.
Spotlight on our Female Leaders: Meet Andrea
At Lane Cove, we are incredibly proud of the women who lead our community on the pool deck and the gym floor. This year, we’re putting a special spotlight on Andrea, one of our dedicated Group Fitness and Personal Training Instructors.
With over 11 years in the fitness industry, Andrea’s career is rooted in consistency, care, and a genuine passion for helping others. For Andrea, coaching isn't about numbers; it’s about watching her clients feel stronger and more comfortable in their own skin. Whether it’s helping someone move without pain or celebrating a new personal best, seeing that boost in confidence is what drives her every day.
Andrea is also currently a nursing student, and she brings that deep medical knowledge into her training. This allows her to provide expert support for members navigating rehabilitation or post-surgery recovery, ensuring everyone rebuilds their strength safely and confidently.
Her goal is simple: to create a welcoming space where everyone feels empowered to find their own happiness through fitness.
Celebrating Our Team
From our expert swim coaches to our personal trainers, the women at Lane Cove are the backbone of our supportive environment. We celebrate their contributions, their expertise, and the positive impact they have on our members' lives every single day.
Together, we can forge gender equality. Together, we #GiveToGain.
