Most Warwick locals have used the WIRAC pools over the years, be it for school carnivals, lap swimming, hydrotherapy, aquarobics, or simply a fun outing for the family. Like everything else, we turn up and do what we came to do without thinking about all the behind-the-scenes activity that keeps things running.
It’s that time of year again where yarnbombers, the community, and a healthy tourist contingent comes out in force to mix, mingle, and make music at Jumpers & Jazz in July. SDRC has worked with community groups and local businesses to bring a jam-packed program with something for everyone.
Anyone with children knows what a battle it can be to get them doing the things that are good for them. Brushing teeth, eating veggies, and putting on seat belts can all create the biggest tantrums, yet parents persist because they, unlike the children, understand the value of doing these things.
In a time of expanding waistlines competing with pressure for the ‘ideal’ body, most of us are aware of three little words. These three words are thrown around as though everyone knows what they mean and how to implement them.
So the festive season has come and gone as has the New Year celebrations. It is back to reality for most of us with school commencing, back to work and no more holidays for a while. That being said, the team at WIRAC have come up with the Fitness (and fun) February which has a wide range of activities to keep you active, fit and healthy and provides the opportunity to meet some people and make new friends.
The big news is that we have brought back the 6 week Shred Challenge (New Year, New You SHRED) which was a huge success late last year. For just $99 you can compete to win a great cash prize and lose weight/tone up. Available for members and non-members.
There is loads of FREE STUFF as well including FREE Swimming Squad sessions, FREE Badminton, FREE Metafit classes and FREE Aqua Aerobic classes – note some t&c’s do apply.
Cancer Survivor Program returns, as does the Active Youth Program and our Wednesday nite Rockwall, Aussie Hoops Basketball, Netball and Futsal.
And if you have some friends who are just not sure what to do, then they can come and try the Y for just $20 for 20 days (t&c’s apply: only one voucher per person, should be new users only, must be 18yrs and above. Available for 20 consecutive days once started – must commence by 3 March 2020. Does not allow 24/7 access. Participants can use the pool, the gym and group fitness). No refunds available on this offer.
