The challenges facing aqua aerobics classes
Twelve bikes: the capacity is physical
It is not an estimate of comfort, it is the number of machines in the pool. One booking too many and somebody goes home having paid.
Classes run on with the changing room
Forty-five minutes in the water, and a flow of twelve people crossing the next group. Without a gap between them, the 7pm class starts at 7.10.
Ten-class cards avoid the till every visit
As long as the count keeps itself. A book at reception is two minutes per person and one mistake a week.
A cancelled class means twelve people to tell
A lifeguard off sick, a problem with the pool. Twelve calls or one message to everyone: the difference is a morning.
A booked place not taken is a place lost
The class is full, three people do not come, and three were turned away. It is the worst outcome, and the most common.

Practical guide: Aqua aerobics classes
- The class capacity set by the number of bikes, not by the size of the pool.
- Ten to fifteen minutes of buffer between classes for the changing-room crossover.
- Ten-class cards attached to the record: the count keeps itself, reception stops counting.
- Cancelling from the diary tells all twelve at once, and frees the places for the next class.
- A reminder the evening before. On a full class with a waiting list, every place given back in time is a place sold.
- A cancellation notice that leaves time to re-offer the place. Two hours before is too late; the evening before is useful.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an aquabike class cost in the UK?
Around £8 to £14 for a single class and £70 to £120 for a card of ten. Set your own prices.
What obligations apply to a UK pool-based class?
The pool operator carries them, and if you hire lane time you inherit part of them by contract. The reference is HSG179, the HSE guidance on health and safety in swimming pools, which requires a written Normal Operating Procedure and an Emergency Action Plan, adequate supervision with the risks of your specific activity assessed, and staff trained to the pool's rescue standard — an instructor teaching from the poolside is not automatically a lifeguard. Water quality follows the Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group standard, with testing records. Add an appropriate teaching qualification, public liability insurance and, if you work with children, an enhanced DBS check.
How do I limit sign-ups to the number of bikes?
With a capacity per class.
How do I allow for the changing-room crossover?
With buffer time between classes.
How do I track a ten-class card?
It attaches to the client record and the balance updates itself.
How do I tell a whole group about a cancellation?
From the diary. Everyone booked gets their message at once.
