I have been attending the aqua fitness classes at the Duncan Tawa Pool consistently myself, benefitting greatly from the routine that enriches my physical and mental wellbeing. Alongside me, many other regular attendees share the same sentiment and are equally dedicated to maintaining their health. As of next week, our routine will be interrupted as the Duncan Tawa Pool is scheduled to close for 6 weeks for maintenance. I am concerned about the detrimental impact this interruption might have on the health of myself and other attendees who depend on these classes.
With this petition, we are requesting that the Tawa aqua fitness instructor Sue be allowed to run classes at similar times (i.e., 9.30am or 10am) at the Johnsonville Pool - the Keith Spry Pool - on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.
Studies have shown regular exercise like aqua fitness can significantly improve both physical and mental health.                              Allowing for these classes in Johnsonville would ensure that all the regular attendees can persist with their healthy routine, invulnerable to the temporary closure of the Duncan Tawa Pool.
This urgent plea is forwarded to Keith Spry Management and Wellington City Council for immediate action. The health of many residents in our community hinges on the continuity of these aqua fitness classes. Please support us in ensuring our physical and mental wellbeing is not jeopardized over these 6 weeks of maintenance. Sign this petition to support the continuity of aqua fitness classes at the Johnsonville pool.
