New Luxury Indoor & Hydrotherapy Pools and Spa Suite - Prepare to be Wowed!

Further to our recent email announcing more details and visuals of our new luxury Indoor & Hydrotherapy Pools and Spa Suite, I am pleased to advise that we can now confirm details of how we will be operating during the period of the pool closure.

We have experienced a small and uncontrollable delay in commencing groundworks for reasons beyond our control, but we wanted to update you as to the position now and reaffirm our commitment with this next phase of works.

We will be closing the Indoor Pool, Sauna & Steam Rooms on Saturday 31st August 2024 to commence the initial demolition of the old jacuzzi, groundworks for the special deck detail in the main pool, structural and roof works, M&E works and the complete strip out of the sauna, steam and plant rooms.

During the closure the following arrangements will be in place.

OUTDOOR POOL & USE OF MARINA
As already announced, our Outdoor Pool is now open for the summer season and we will endeavour to keep it open for as long as reasonably possible this year.

In addition, and for the duration of the closure of the Kings Indoor Pool, all adult members will be permitted to attend our sister Club, Marina Health & Leisure (www.marina.gg) should they wish to continue swimming.

As capacity at Marina is limited, we do ask that members of both Clubs are considerate of each other during the closure, and remind our Off-Peak members that at all times they must continue to adhere to the access times in accordance with their membership package.

LOOKING AFTER OUR YOUTH
As I am sure you will agree, having a life skill like swimming is essential when living on an island like Guernsey. For this reason, we have been working hard to ensure that our younger members are catered for as best as possible during the closure. As already communicated, all of our children's group swimming lessons will be continuing at Haute Capelles School (school aged children) and Beau Sejour (pre- school children) throughout the closure, and we would like to sincerely thank both locations and the States of Guernsey in helping accommodate us - it is hugely appreciated by both the Club and our swimmers.

To help ensure private swimming lessons can continue, we will also be undertaking a small number of private swimming lessons for all ages and abilities at Marina Health & Leisure during the closure. These lessons will be kept to a minimum and will only occupy one swimming lane at a time ensuring that the pool will remain open and available for use by Kings & Marina members as normal throughout opening hours. We thank you for your support in helping our children continue to learn to swim during this period.

AQUA FIT SESSIONS
Please note that Marina Aqua Fit sessions will continue as normal, and in addition a further Aqua Fit session will be added to the Marina timetable on a weekly basis during the closure.

Aqua Fit sessions will primarily be available for their normal home Club members, but subject to availability we are happy for members of both Clubs to attend any of the weekly sessions. Home Club members can book 7 days in advance as normal, and sister Club members can book 5 days in advance. Bookings for your home Club can be made on the App as normal with bookings for sister Club classes being available by telephone only - please call Marina on 721818.

Once the Indoor Pool at Kings is closed our timetable for Aqua will temporarily be:

Monday's 09.30-10.15 with Jane @ Marina
Wednesday's 09.30-10.30 with Sara @ Marina
Thursday's 09.30-10.15 with Jane @ Marina

EXCITING TIMES AHEAD
Whilst taking the existing Kings Indoor Pool, Sauna and Steam out of action for a period of time is unavoidable, please rest assured that the new facilities will be nothing short of exceptional, and an area of the Club that we cannot wait to share with you all.

We would like to thank members of both Clubs for your understanding and patience, and look forward to providing further details and progress images over the coming weeks and months.

We really think this will become an area that you will love to chill out and relax in, and as with our other recent investments in the Club, we are determined that these new facilities will continue to make you proud to be part of the Kings family.
