ALL ZOGS SWIM SCHOOL FOLK


I hope everyone is excited for the holidays and the well-deserved rest ahead!
We cannot believe that term 1 is almost over and that we will all be on holiday soon.


2013/2014 SEASON - VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Our season is coming to a close! Below you will find the necessary dates:

TERM 1 ENDS                                 30TH NOVEMBER 2013

TERM 2 BEGINS                              15TH JANUARY 2014


Please note that all classes will remain the same times, if you are requiring a change then please let us know ASAP in order to try and accommodate alternative times. If siblings are needed to be booked in, please let us know sooner rather than later in order to secure spots.

Thank you to all those customers who have been paying upfront and especially to those who pay for the entire term. This really has provided a great amount of relief, as far as the admin goes. As most of you may know, ZOGS swim school does not send out invoices, we rely solely on parents to settle upfront and on time, on the 1st of every month. This is all explained in the welcome pack which is also attached.

EXCITING NEWS

I am very excited to announce that Arianna from Zogs Swim School Linden will be joining our Bryanston branch as from January 2014. She is a young and enthusiastic teacher with heaps of potential & a love for BOTH children and swimming. Arianna comes from a competitive swimming background, doing incredibly well nationally, where she broke multiple records. We are delighted to have Arianna join our Bryanston team.

VERONICA IS PREGNANT! Yes that’s correct! (It is not the delicious muffins in the coffee shop that have made her body change shape) Veronica will be due around April next year. I am so happy to be able to share this news and would like to wish Veronica and her bun in the oven all the best. She will be coming back to ZOGS SWIM SCHOOL after her maternity leave in April. She definitely is a blessing to us all.


ZOGS BRAND


Thank you to everyone who have been supporting our ZOGS BRAND!! Zogs Floaties as well as Zogs Towel Wraps are doing incredibly well. I'm sure that you will all agree that the ZOGS product range is of top quality.


WATER CONFIDENCE CLASSES


This summer, we were finally able to commence ZOGS “Water Confidence” classes in Bryanston, for babies aged 9 – 30 months. We are extremely eager to see how fast these little ones will learn once they are old enough to enter our learn to swim programme. We have found that the babies in our Linden branch learnt just that much quicker after THE “ZOGS Water Confidence” Programme. 


ROQUE FITNESS STUDIO


We just want to say a big Thank You to ROQUE FITNESS STUDIO (072 116 8430) for letting us use the gym during lightning storms. Everyone please remember that if there is a storm we will continue with lessons, however, if there is lightning we will hop out and continue with a dry lesson in the gym.

These dry lessons have been created in conjunction with OT therapists, to focus on core strength & specific muscle group exercises, which are of the utmost importance for a child’s swimming ability. So please parents, if one sees lightning please understand that there will be a dry lesson planned.

THANK YOU’S:

Firstly, to David, Vonny, Alex, Noels, Veronica, Kennedy and Arianna. Our Swim schools would not run as smoothly and efficiently without you guys.

To all our swimmers-thank you for making our jobs so enjoyable, you are all such a pleasure to teach, your comments and thoughts are often so cute and definitely the talk around our tables.

To the parents-without your support ZOGS swim school would not be where it is today - Thank you for choosing our schools.

Also, thanks you for all the Christmas gifts we have received. This was really not necessary, but thanks once again.

I would just like to wish you all a relaxing and blessed holiday and festive season. May it be spent with the ones who mean the most. Safe travels for those who are away and we look forward to seeing you all next year.

All my love
