Laura Jheemla - October Member of the Month

Laura Jheemla – October Member of the Month

All the team here at Hatfield Swim Centre would like to send our congratulations to Laura Jheemla, who has been nominated as Member of the Month for October 2023.

Laura is one of our ever presents in our evening fitness classes, as well as making use of our swimming pool and health suite facilities. Below is a little bit more about Laura and her journey over the last couple of years:

“Laura is 42 years old and has been attending Hatfield Swim Centre three times a week since after lockdown. We feel she is now a long standing and loyal member. Laura loves Zumba on Monday and Wednesday evenings and she has also excelled in Tuesday evening Aerobics.

Laura has Downs Syndrome and some learning disabilities. The classes she attends each week have helped her to lose three stone in weight! They have also helped her to improve her well-being and mobility very significantly. The classes also offer a really good social outing and some independence for Laura. Laura has gained a lot of confidence over the last 2 to 3 years, which has enabled her to successfully live independently.

Laura also adores using the Jacuzzi and loves swimming. Laura is also a regular on Sunday afternoons with the Platypus Club at Hatfield Swim Centre. She is well known by all of the staff and many of the members and, although she does not have a lot of verbal communication, everyone knows she looks forward to visiting Hatfield Swim Centre and loves every minute that she is there. Thank you all for making Laura so welcome”

We’d like to thank Laura’s Sister, Danielle, for the words above and we applaud Laura for her continued commitment to her weekly classes and look forward to many more years of her attendance here
