All good things must come to an end...but do they?


This week we were all advised that the Arundel Hills Country Club Rec Centre was closing down. With loyal members - some for up to 20 years, and committed staff, we are saddened by the news but determined to try and do something to keep us together. 

The wonderful women from aqua and instructors are joining forces in an attempt to find a new location for our aqua class so that we can stay united and continue with the friendships that have formed at the Rec Centre, and of course, our FITNESS!

Therefore, I have created aquawomen.blogspot.com as a tool for us to stay in touch and share information with the goal of bringing us together again for aqua classes. If you have any information about possible locations or would just like to leave a comment, go for it!

    Thanks Ana - I love the page, and the photo's great!
    I found a GCCC website about some aqua classes at Southport ... http://www.gcparks.com.au/activities-search.aspx

    Thanks for that info Vicki

    I had a look at the timetable – which only goes up to 31 March 2012. So I gave them a call. They said they don’t have a new timetable yet, however, advised that it should stay the same.

    You can view the timetable at: http://www.goldcoastac.com.au/programs-and-classes/aqua-aerobics.html or contact them on ph. 5591 3533.

    There seem to be a few half hour aqua classes and deep water running classes. But if you prefer to stay with the longer aqua classes, then there are one hour classes on:

    Tuesday: Aqua Fit @ 6pm-7pm
    Friday: Aqua Fit @ 9am-10am
    Friday: Mature & Motivated Aqua Fit @ 12.15pm-1.15pm
    Saturday: Aqua Fit @ 8.30am-9.30am

    Prices seem to be $10 Adult/$7.50 concession or $2 for the half hour classes.

    Anyway, check out the timetable or give them a call as you may prefer one of the other classes.

    Ana :)

    Hello again ladies. I've been in contact with Judy from TSS. She has aqua aerobics classes at TSS, 2 Winchester Street, Southport on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8.30am-9.30am.

    The web address is: http://tssaquatic.com.au/aqua-fitness and cost is $8 or $6 for seniors.

    She said she would really like us to come along to next Wednesday's class (28th March) as she is taking that class. I may also come along and watch/participate as there is the possibility of me taking the Saturday class.

    Let me know your thoughts!

    Ana

      I am working at the desk on that Saturday and Alex has his boxing class from 9-9.45, so I'll come down as soon as he's finished.

      Also, there is going to be a get together at the Arundel Tavern on Friday night. Alex and I are working till 7.30 that night but will head over there after work. I think you can turn up anytime after about 6.30.

      So aqua ladies, hope to see you there if you can make it! :)

    Hi, I would like to invite all the aqua girls to try Aqua or deep water running at TSS. This week I will drop vouchers to Arundel offering a free session. Aqua classes are held Monday, Wednesday & Friday 8.30am Saturday will recommence 13th April. If there is enough interest for an alternative day, I could
    organise a class.
    We are a friendly group at TSS, so please join us.
    Please phone me with any questions.

      Hi Judy, thanks for posting that information. I tried to tell as many women as I could about your classes after the aqua class on Saturday and mentioned that you'll be dropping off vouchers - so hopefully you'll get some interest!

    Unfortunately the pool at A B Paterson is not available for our use. The pool manager returned my call finally, but they have insurance problems if any other than their school pupils use the pool. Jan

    I can say for sure that a new class will be underway on the first Wednesday of June (due to a new program) at 5pm at the Nerang Pool in Lavelle Street. This pool is heated and it will be under the "active and healthy program' so will cost participants only $2. Class time is only half an hour though, but we can fit a lot in. I will be taking that class. Jan

    What a sad day today was. Thanks to everybody for such a wonderful time over whatever time they have been at Arundel. Remember, first Saturday of the month - morning coffee at the Arundel Bistro around 10.15 to 10.30. See you there for the May one I hope.
