Aqua Aerobics

tickledpinkfair

Hey all

Moved to Galway back in July for a job. Im looking to get a bit fit thought of swimming n that so looking for somewhere to do aqua aerobics or even a swimming pool i live out in knocknacarra area so somewhere close to there would suit. I know Leisureland have them but at €7.50 a class to go the 3 nites its on its pretty pricey, especially compared to the 4.50 I use to pay in waterford

Dont know many people here at all, prob one of the main reasons im considering going back home so somewhere kinda sociable would be great not necessary though.

Any help would be great thanks guys

Hey i go swimming 5nights a week in Leisureland ( Lanes ) its brilliant membership is 40euro a month which works out brilliant as its 5euro a session if you pay as you go so it works out that you get 2+weeks free, PM me if you would like to go sometime with me, there are 3lanes 1.slow 2.medium 3.fast very competitive and enjoyable, oh and before you ask no i dont work for leisureland even though the above would make you think otherwise!:D

lol yeh right little promotional speech for them there. Was considering lanes but havent been swimming in so long i prob would even manage 2 lol I might take a trip down tonight check out the facilities it says on their site they have a new gym open have you used that yet or whats it like?

Steyr

No i dont use they Gym, Gyms are terrible if you ask me i reckon keep with the Swimming, i lost 6stone through swimming i was in a Gym before i started swimming and it did nothing for me Swimming is the business i was 18stone im down to 12 now all within 8months.

yeh i agree with you swimming is better for you but just wondering whats the best route for value for money and what the gym is like wouldnt mind the odd work out all the same

Steyr

Jaez, fairplay! Swimming is great if you want a balance of general exercise/workout without stressing the body. Swimming is my main exercise since my spinal injury, had to give up the ruggers

Thanks, sorry to hear you had to give up Rugby im a huge Rugby fan.

Not in your area, but an answer nonetheless: There's aquafit deep water classes in the Kingfisher in Renmore - they're good! I pay 65 for a 6 week course - pricy, but worth it!
