Swim Gym

Rhonda Neighbourly Lead from Hastings Central

Hi Neighbours, Good News. Stopped by the Swim Gym today and found out that:

1. They hope to re-open on the 16th of this month if all goes to plan.

2. It will be a 24 hours swipe card access facility.

3. I had a walk through and it is looking really well 'done up' and hooray there are new heaters in the bathrooms so it looks like we will be allowed to have them 'on' in the winter! And the pool cover will be being used as by not using it they have had to do major renovations because the moisture was in the wood etc. And the heaters for the pool and pumps were not working properly so they have new ones so will be much better and more efficient.

4. Under New Management. Apparently, there are no records of our old memberships. Not sure what will happen with the classes that were running. New Management will let us know, but if you would like to nicely convey your desires to them, I am sure you can leave a nice letter down there for the new manager to consider.

5. Totally new Sauna and looks like a big spa pool which will be a nice addition.

6. Bathrooms have all been done up and look great. Shower heads are higher so taller people will fit under them! Hooray!

7. The pool has been cleaned and the tiles around the top are actually blue!

8. Sounds like we can either pay for the Gym or the Pool or both. The swipe card will let you into the main building and then will let you in either side depending on what you have paid for.
We will need to wait for the price list and how it will work.

This is all as I understand it and am only passing it on as while I was there, three other people also came to inquire as to when it was back up and running etc. So, thought I might share what I gleaned. My apologies if anything turns out to be different. Passing this on in good faith.
Be great to have the Swim Gym back up and running. From a Member of the Public and this is not official from the Swim Gym. Just thought some of you might like to know. Cheers. Rhonda
