Manager’s Welcome

The first quarter of the year is almost complete…where has the time gone?! Hopefully the cold weather and snowy conditions have left us and we can get spring sprung!

The heat however has been turned up for our personal trainer Tom as he jetted off to South Africa to take part in ITV2’s Survival Of The Fittest Programme. We’re really proud of Tom and his efforts within the challenges completed, it’s just a shame he’s coming home so early on. Well done Tom!

Please take a look at our new Premier Partner, My Own Tutor who we will be working with in the near future. My Own Tutor hold study and tuition sessions for children aged 5 – 16, are national curriculum compliant and will soon be holding sessions right here at Roko. They will be popping in and spending some time in the club lounge in the coming weeks so feel free to have a chat with them.

Easter is also on the way so if you need any more of an excuse to indulge in some chocolate, now’s the time! Life is all about balance after all! Look out for our opening hours and revised timetables in club.

And don’t forget…just one more month until the outdoor pool is back open for what we hope is a glorious summer! 1st April…no fools…It’ll be open then!

Enjoy the start to your spring!

Julie Bowley and your Roko Nottingham Team

Swimming News

Enrolment for the new term went out last month so as a current swimmer you should have received your re-enrolment forms from your teacher. The new term will start w/c 12th March 2018.

I would like to thank you for your continued custom, myself and the swim teachers have really enjoyed seeing the children progress and grow in confidence and ability. I often comment to the team we have the best jobs in the world as it’s so rewarding seeing a nervous, unhappy swimmer flourish! The feeling we get when they swim their first 5 meters is as amazing for us as it is for parents.

We are proud of all the swimmer's achievements and believe our low class numbers and high quality teaching help the children achieve whilst continuing to enjoy their lessons in a challenging but also caring environment.

Splash sessions are back and now running with Joe every Sunday at 10.30am - book your place with reception!

Swimfit. bookings are also being taken from new and existing members. This is a 30 minute session with Jennie in the pool; she will give you tips and ideas on how to improve your stroke and achieve your goals in 2018! If you’d prefer something a little more intense, try FitBody Swim on a Monday and Friday both at 6.30pm. These 45 minute sessions will give you a total body workout and increase your fitness levels massively.
