Jump ‘N’ Play
There will be double the fun in our Jump ‘N’ Play sessions, as from 25th July we will be hosting two sessions per week! You can join in these Summer sessions every Tuesday & Thursday between 09:45-10:45 & 11:00-12:00. Plus, for the Summer only, sessions will cost just £3.00 per child!
Aqua Aerobics
Please note that our current Aqua Aerobics class on a Friday at 09:00 will end on Friday 30th June. Emma, the current instructor for this class, is leaving & we have unfortunately currently been unable to find anyone to take over teaching the class. We have an advert out & are looking for new Aqua instructors.
At the same time, we are excited to announce that Lee, who has covered some Aqua Aerobics over the last few weeks, will be instructing a new Aqua Aerobics class every Thursday morning between 08:00-08:45. This new class time will begin on 27th July. As a result of the above, there will be changes to our Member Swimming times. From 7th July there will be an additional Members Swimming session on Fridays between 09:00-09:45. From 27th July, Members Swimming on a Thursday between 08:00-08:45 will be replaced by Aqua Aerobics.
