Volunteers Needed for Events Committee

The events committee could use some help in organizing events for this pool season.  In addition to July 4, Luau, and Low Country Boil, we have Friday Movie Nights in June and “Nights” in the Deep End.  If you have any interest in helping our Committee Chair, Jill Thompson, organize and execute these events, please contact Jill at events@venetianpools.org or 404-277-5234.

Aqua Aerobics Survey (Submitted by Missy Douglas)

This winter I have been side-lined (hopefully temporarily) from doing any weight bearing exercise for either upper or lower body because of injuries.  Finding no other acceptable fitness program, I reluctantly started an aqua aerobics class at LA Fitness, assuming this would not involve significant aerobic or strength building exercise.  I have now been attending 1-hour classes 3 times a week and have come to realize that this can be great exercise and can be individualized by age and fitness levels/goals for each person in a class.  Simply stated – You get out of it what you put into it.

As summer approaches, I would like to investigate the potential for having similar classes at Venetian.  Before seriously considering this, it is important to assess the level of interest among other members and the potential for locating one or more individuals who might serve as instructors or informal leaders of each class, hopefully for no cost or minimal cost.

If you have any interest in such a class, please read the questions below and send your responses to me at missydouglas12@gmail.com.

  1. Do you have any interest in having an aqua aerobics class at Venetian?
    1. Maybe, but not sure.
    2. Depends upon cost and/or times.
    3. I would be interested.
  2. Cost?
    1. I would be willing to pay a nominal fee.
    2. I would be interested only if it were free.
  3. Equipment needed?
    1. I would be willing to purchase any needed equipment, not more than $20-30.
    2. I would only participate if Venetian purchased such equipment.
  4. Time? I would like for the class to be
    1. Early in the morning.
    2. Midday or early afternoon.
    3. Evening
  5. Number of weekly sessions. I think we should have sessions
    1. Once a week
    2. Twice a week
    3. Three times a week
  6. Class leader or instructor (volunteer or minimal pay). No experience needed:
    1. I would be interested in facilitating a class.
    2. I know someone who might be interested in facilitating a class.
    3. I am not interested and do not know anyone interested.

Please respond only if you have any level of interest.  Your response can be as simple as 1a, 2b, 3c, 4a, 5b, etc.  Please include your name and telephone number.  If there is adequate interest, we will further discuss options.  Please let me know if you have any suggestions, thoughts, or other questions we might want to consider.  If you would like to discuss by phone, please call me at (404) 633-4617.

Thanks,

Missy Douglas
