Which class is right for me or my child?

Holiday swim courses run over five consecutive half days (four if there is a public holiday) from Monday to Friday. Courses may be in the morning or the afternoon. We take enrolments for complete courses only.
If your child is a bit stuck on an element of their swimming, by coming every day for five days they'll normally crack it. Conquer that learning to breathe, breaststroke, or butterfly!

Group fitness classes
The wait is almost over! Our group fitness studio doors are re-opening from 5.45am Tuesday 2 June 2020.
Here is our new timetable - as we move into the new norm, there’s a few things that you need to know:
- All classes are at a reduced capacity to allow for physical distancing - Mezzanine classes now have a capacity of 15 people and our Spinning classes is 20 people
- Bookings are not compulsory but highly recommended (see below for how to book)
- You’ll need to bring a filled drink bottle and sweat towel. No sweat towel = no workout!
- At this stage, due to capacity, we will only be taking bookings for members (not casual attendees)
- We request members don’t arrive more than 10 minutes before a class starts to allow for social distancing
- So everyone has a chance to get their group fit fix, we may need to limit the number of classes members are booking into.
To book a class, either call us on 892 4910, email us at westwave.fitnesscentre@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz, Facebook message us, or book in person. Can't wait to see you all again soon!

Foundations classes
Foundations is three one-hour sessions with the aim of assessing and teaching the key movements that will be performed during 612 classes.

Session One: Gymnastics — pull ups, push ups, handstands and more!
Session Two: Clean and Jerk — moving weight from point A to point B as effectively as possible; the first experience of your Olympic Weightlifting journey.
Session Three: Snatch and Review — Olympic Weightlifting and reviewing previous sessions.
Foundations is included as part of your Generation 612 membership.
