Swim Passes for 2009

If you want to take up the offer from Riverside Pool or the ASB Aquatic Centre then you will need to fill in the form that I emailed out to you all last night and send this in to Nelson City Council with your payment.

Excellent Spirit

It was fantastic to see so many of you at the annual Cityfitness Jingle Bells Jog yesterday. I will be sending out an email to you all very soon with a feedback form - please print this, fill it in and send back to the Nelson City Council using the freepost number provided. At the bottom of this form is a section where you can order a swim pass for Jan-March (please note that this offer is only available to those of you that have attended five sessions or more so far). There is also a space to order a t-shirt or polo if you want one (a minimum order of 10 is required for an order to be put through).
Remember to include the positives along with the constructive as to attract similar funding in future to run the series we need to get some good comments as well!
I wish you well in the lead up to Christmas. Remember to keep active.

Christmas spirit

Have you got your Christmas costume ready yet? Or have you hunted out at least a bell? I look forward to seeing you this Sunday morning at Trafalgar park with your family/friends in tow for the annual Jingle Bells Jog. Gold coin donation to the National Heart Foundation. Run or Walk (or skate or scoot) from the Park to Tahuna Beach. Even the family dog is welcome! Plenty of prizes too. Register from 9.30am, start at 10am. See you there!

What to do with your free Thursday???

Just because the series has halted for the month of December doesn't mean your activity has to! Now is the perfect time to work on your swimming again and head out to Tasman Gold Masters Swimming at the ASB Aquatic Centre - they would love to see you. 7-8pm. Or maybe you want to join up with each other and head out for a walk or jog - use the Exercise Buddies anyone post on the right hand column of the blog to find a lonely activated woman ....

If you want some help with your swim technique then don't forget to look into one of the following options:

Swim Passes

Great news! Bev from the ASB Aquatic Centre is also happy to offer the three month swim pass for consistent Activator Women again. This will start in January and cover January, February and March. If you are interested in this or in the swim pass at Riverside/Nayland then let me know.
Perfect opportunity to keep working on the swimming in the lead up to the Taylors Womens Tri on the 5th of April. Don't forget to get the kids training too - Nelson Events has an Aquathon on the calendar for the kids - the Port Nelson Kauri Kids Aquathon on the 3rd of April. It will involve a run around the Kauri trail of the Centre of NZ, going through the inflatable NBS obstacle course and then a swim at Riverside Pool. More details to follow soon ..... so keep the whole family active!
