💦 More Hydrohex Classes Coming to Palatine! 💦

We’re thrilled that so many of you are enjoying our Hydrohex classes at Palatine, and we want to help even more people get involved!

✅ New Thursday class added
Starting 6 August, a new Hydrohex class will run at 3:05pm on Thursdays replacing Mandy’s popular class which is moving to Wednesdays at 11:45am.

✅ More spaces available
We’re increasing capacity for our evening classes at:
Monday – 8:35pm
Wednesday – 8:35pm
Thursday – 8:45pm

✅ Even more spaces after summer
Following planned maintenance work to the pool floor, we’ll be increasing capacity for all 3:05pm Hydrohex classes.

We know there’s also demand for more spaces in the 7:50am classes. Unfortunately, due to pool usage at that time, we can’t increase capacity right now. It’s something we’ll continue to review and we’ll let you know if additional spaces become available in the future.
