Summer Schedule at BAC
As we roll into the summer, and hopefully some beautiful weather, our staff has been busy assembling a summer class schedule that makes sense as members cut back on club visits during the summer months and club usage trends downward. There are many reasons for this: Children being out of school, travel and outdoor activities; not only for our members but our instructors as well. In an effort to make efficient use of our resources, we are modifying hours and class schedules for the summer months. Changes to look for:
Downtown Hours:
Monday through Friday – 5:00am-8:00pm (effective July 1)
Saturday – 7:00am-2:00pm (effective July 1)
Sunday – 7:00am-2:00pm (effective June 23. Closed on June 16.)
Holiday hours – 7:00am-2:00pm, with no group exercise classes.
Downtown Programming:
Regular Summer class reduction in the lower attended group exercise classes.
Cordata Club hours:
Monday through Friday – 5:30am-10:00pm
Saturday and Sunday – 7:00am-9:00pm
Holiday Hours – 7:00am-7:00pm, no land or water group exercise.
Monday through Saturday – Kids Club open 8:30am-12:00pm
Cordata Programming:
Summer will bring added swim lesson participants and children in the club. Look for additional programming and camps for kids; including our Active Achievers camp running July 8th-12th from 9:00am to 4:30pm. We have loads of activities lined up for this fun-filled week. We also will be running a Racquetball Camp designed by our excellent head pro Wanda Collins, August 5th-9th for beginner through advanced players.
Kids Club will be running special programming all summer long to keep BAC kids active and engaged. Check out the summer schedule posted down in Kids Club, and it will be available online when we have fleshed out all the details.
Regular summer adjustments to the Group Exercise schedule due to lower attended group exercise classes. Look for many of these classes to come back in the Fall when everyone gets back to their regular schedule.
