Class time changes will be sent to you via a class alert WhatsApp.

Please note that our Aqua Zumba classes are primarily adult classes, and a special arrangement can be made for teenagers who would like to join our classes. However, a young and fit teenager will not experience the same fitness exercise as this is not a high-energy class. Please keep this in mind as the class can be beneficial for those who have problems with their joints or who have had a previous injury and have recovered. Please always consult your physician or GP before taking part in any of our classes should you be pregnant, have high blood pressure, had sustained an injury or have been for an operation, or if you have any heart disease or asthma.

 Please save Tina’s number because we use WhatsApp broadcast list to communicate with all our clients. If you don’t save Tina’s number, then the WhatsApp won’t go through to you.

Swimmer’s Ear is an infection in the outer ear canal, which runs from your eardrum to the outside of your head. It’s often brought on by water that remains in your ear after swimming, creating a moist environment that aids bacterial growth. Please be sure to dry out your ears with a tissue after every class.

Our fees stay the same for 12 months per year as we pay rent, salaries, pool maintenance, electricity, pool chemicals, water etc every month. We trust that our clients will be understanding and will support Aqua Zumba at Splashing Stars just as much as we will be supporting all our clients during 2022. We would love to keep our doors open and provide quality classes to you. Some months you will have 2,3,4 or 5 lessons depending on the school holidays for clients paying R220 per month. Some months you will have 4,6,8, or 10 lessons depending on the school holidays for clients paying R280 per month.

Unfortunately, no cash or cheques are accepted for class fees. Only EFTs are allowed for fees payments. It’s safer for you and us to have proof of payment on both our statements to keep track. This creates no place for confusion between us. You don’t have to send me any proof of payment. I will check my statements monthly and tick off all the payments that come through. Also, we do not send out messages via broadcast (except in an emergency) via WhatsApp or provide you with a bill or invoice. It is your responsibility to pay your class fees upfront. We reserve the right to pause any classes if no payment was made or no proof of payment was provided in time.

The responsibility of the instructor begins when the client enters the water at the beginning of their class and ends once the client has completed the class and vacated the water. You are therefore responsible for your own safety while on the premises of Splashing Stars on Merchant Walk Street, Duynefontein. Please note very carefully that our facility is a swim school, which means that the floors can be slippery and wet. Take care when walking as well as when you are climbing onto the ladder to enter or exit the pool. Should you at any stage feel unsafe, please inform Tina immediately. Also, should you feel unwell during a fitness class, please stop immediately and alarm the person next to you and Tina that you are unwell. Make sure that you drink plenty of fluids (water) throughout the Aqua Zumba session/class.
