Summer at Club Towers for Juniors & Families
Whilst we know many members go on holiday for part of the summer, there is still plenty for juniors to do at the Club when you are back in Bedford. Below we summarise everything available for juniors at the Club during the holidays.
Family Fun Day and BBQ – Saturday 9th August
We would like to invite all members to our family fun day. The BBQ will be fired up, garden games and racquets will be out and we’ve also booked special visits from princess Elsa and Spiderman, they will join us for fun and games this year. More information can be found here.
Swimming
Swimming Timetable
We will be running our summer holiday timetable from Monday 21st July until the 1st September – this can be found here. Please note the additional weekday adult-only swim times when planning your swims. These will run every weekday from 11am – 1pm apart from Bank Holiday Monday 25th August (when there will be no additional midday adult-only swim as per all Bank Holidays). Family Splash, our lifeguarded and family fun session, runs every weekend (Saturday and Sunday) 1.30-3.30pm as usual.
Junior Swimming Crash Courses – Summer Holidays
We are pleased to be able to offer some junior crash courses this summer holiday as follows:
Monday 11th until Friday 15th August – Daily
Beginners 4.15 – 5pm (aimed at Ducklings and Stage 1-2 swimmers)
Improvers 5 – 5.45pm (aimed at Stage 3 and upwards)
The courses will be run in small groups of no more than six children and will really help to keep children’s learning momentum going or, if they haven’t been in lessons before, help them gain confidence in the water.
Courses cost £65 (£58.50 with premium membership) and can be booked on a first come, first served basis with the Reception team. Bookings will open on the 7th July.
Teddy Bears Picnic – Wednesday 6th August 12 -1pm
The creche team are holding their popular teddy bears picnic on Wednesday 6th August from 12 noon to 1pm and are inviting juniors aged 3 – 6 to join them for stories, games and, of course, a picnic!
Places are £13 which includes the picnic lunch. Parents/guardians do not need to stay with their little ones but must remain in the Club.
Please book at Reception in the Club or call them on 01234 607111. Do let us know of any allergies. And don’t forget your teddy!
Creche
The creche continues to be open throughout the holidays, Monday to Friday from 9am to 1pm and Saturdays from 8.30am to 12.30pm, for children from 3 months to 6 years. It’s £9 per hour and places must be booked and paid for in advance with the Creche or Reception team.
Gym
Parent and Junior Gym
Our 12-15 year old junior members can use the gym under parental supervision at the following times:
Weekdays: Any time apart from 5.30pm to 8pm
Weekends: Any time after 12pm.
Juniors may use any equipment except for free weights and our plate-loaded kit. They must do a gym induction and sign a Health Commitment Statement before using the gym for the first time, with the parent in attendance and also signing the Health Commitment Statement to record their approval.
The parent/guardian must obviously remain in the gym at all times, and we expect parents to properly supervise their juniors whilst they are exercising, although they might be on different equipment. The usual rules on cleaning equipment and general gym etiquette apply.
Please remember that any under 16s in the Club must be with a parent/guardian at all times.
Junior Personal Training
Our Personal trainers are available throughout the Summer to offer personal training for juniors from ages 12 and upward and this is a great way for juniors to get an introduction to using the gym safely and start to learn some exercises and routines that they might enjoy. You can find the contact information for our experienced team at www.clubtowers.com/personaltrainers.
An introductory £99 pack will get your child 3 x 45 minute sessions and are a good way to begin.
Group Exercise
Family Circuits
This is a workout for you to do with your child, aimed at ages 5-12, running every other Saturday, 12.45 – 1.30pm. It will continue to run during the holidays on the 26th July and 9th August with our brilliant PT Mark and you can book a space for you and your child on the App.

Tennis and Squash
Playing with Friends and Family Members
Just a reminder that adult racquets members can also book courts to play with their children. We have racquets and balls you can borrow if you need them – please ask the Reception team. Once children reach 12, two juniors can use the courts themselves provided they are of a good enough standard to know what they are doing on court, are behaving themselves, and the parent/guardian has informed our Reception Team.

These sessions are not for beginners but if you have a keen and talented child member who would like to be involved please contact our Racquets Operations Manager Steve on [email protected] for more details.

Over 12s can play on their own but the parent/guardian must remain in the Club and ensure that their juniors are behaving well.
