Manager's Message

Welcome your March Member’s Newsletter.

I think you’ll agree that February has absolutely flown by! Spring is just on the horizon, and we can start to look forward to lighter nights and warmer temperatures.

Speaking of temperatures – I’m very happy to inform you that the issues we’ve been experiencing with the club’s temperature regulation system have been resolved. But just when we thought we were in the clear, last Thursday we experienced a major fault with our building’s water booster pump. I am very relieved to say that this issue has also now been resolved. I’d like to extend my thanks to you all for your patience whilst we have had new parts installed. I’d also like to personally thank all the team for their hard work and dedication during the period of disruption.

A few exciting service, choreography and product launches in this Newsletter to be aware of, so please do keep reading in order to get the most of your membership! As always, if there’s anything me and the team can help with – please don’t hesitate to ask.

Water Fun

If you’re looking at more of a ‘play’ session in the pool with the whole family, water fun is a great time to aim for on a weekend afternoon! Every Saturday & Sunday between 3-4pm we put floats in the pool.

You said, we did – we have some new floats and toys for our water fun sessions!

Retail product of the month: Adult Zoggs Predator Goggles

Get ready to experience Zogg’s best fit yet, with the Predator swimming goggles. As no two faces are the same, they have introduced two different sizes into their Predator range of goggles; Regular Profile Fit, and Smaller Profile Fit. Coupled with the new Advanced Ultra-Fit™ gasket for exceptional comfort, Predator goggles now fit more faces than ever before.

Predator goggles are ideal for the versatile swimmer. Excelling indoors, these goggles can also hold their own outside with UV protection and anti-fog equipped. The pair are also sporting a pulley adjust system on the double strap, so there won’t be any time wasted fitting your goggles when you can quickly adjust the fit and jump straight in. Featuring the iconic WIRO frame look and original predator colours, they undisputedly look great too. That’s always a bonus.

Available from the Club’s Reception!

New Year – New Me Success!

This month we ran a 5-week body transformation course!

The results are in and its safe to say everyone smashed it! We dropped weight and dropped cm’s (20cm’s collectively).

Most importantly we made small manageable lifestyle changes and developed the nutritional and fitness tools necessary to continue the journey to becoming ‘new me’s’

Weekly SMART goals, small daily changes and accountability have been key in helping achieve our goals over the past 5 weeks!
