Registration open for municipal swimming, physical exercise and gymnastics courses 2023-24
Five municipal sports centres in Alhama offer a variety of healthy exercise from now until summer 2024
With the end of the summer comes the beginning of a new season of municipal sporting and physical exercise activities organized by the Town Hall of Alhama de Murcia, and in the 2023-24 program, as well as swimming, gymnastics, pilates, aerobics and the other activities which were available there are two new additions; Core Total and Crosstraining.
A year ago so great was the demand for these municipal services that long queues formed as people attempted to register for them, so this year three times as many staff will be on hand at the indoor pool in Calle Paraguay (telephone 968 639757) to deal with applicants.
Those renewing their registration from last year are able to do so from September 1 to September 6, while new applicants are welcomed between September 7 and 15. The office is open on weekdays from 9.00 to 14.00 and 16.00 to 20.00 and on Saturdays from 9.00 to 14.00 only.
These registrations are for the first “term” until Christmas: registration for the second and third terms will open 15 days before each begins.
Applicants for the adult courses must be at least 14 for physical exercise and 16 for gymnastics. All courses require a mínimum of 8 registrations to begin. Sessions last 50 minutes except Spinning Hit and Core Total (40 minutes).
Successful applicants will lose their places if they fail to pay or if they are absent without justification more than three times.
THERE ARE VARIOUS DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE – STAFF WILL BE ABLE TO INFORM ON REGISTRATION.

COMPLEJO GUADALENTÍN - Weekdays 8.15 to 14.45 and 15.30 to 22.30, weekends 9.00 to 22.00
