🌞SUMMER AQUA UPDATE🌞
Good morning Beautiful BootCampers
I just wanted to give you an update on our search for a pool venue for Aqua classes this summer and to keep you informed about everything that has been happening behind the scenes.
Over the past few weeks, we have contacted four different urbanisation pools in the hope of securing a suitable location. Two declined our request immediately, while the other two invited us to submit formal proposals. Hellen and I attended one community meeting in person and another proposal was put to a residents' vote.
Unfortunately, the process hasn't been without its challenges. There was some hostility at both meetings, online comments and emails. While disappointing, we remained professional and focused on finding the best outcome for everyone.
At one stage, Evoca Living looked extremely promising. I was invited to meet with management to discuss potential days and times for Aqua sessions, which gave Hellen and I real hope that an agreement could be reached. However, that meeting was cancelled at the last minute and rescheduled for the following day. During the rescheduled meeting, it became clear that the Director was hesitant to move forward, as Aqua classes were already being offered within the spa facilities.
We also approached AJ Hotels, who requested a detailed proposal for consideration. Despite our efforts, that application was ultimately unsuccessful.
To say this journey has been frustrating and emotionally draining would be an understatement. However, it has also been an invaluable learning experience and has highlighted just how much work goes on behind the scenes to try to provide these classes.
Thank you all for your continued patience, understanding and support. Your encouragement means a great deal. We have a meeting tomorrow (if it doesn’t get cancelled/they don't change their mind/they don't ignore my messages 😆). Will keep you posted! 😘🙏💖✨
