Soo. Wef 01 March @virginactiveSA is prohibiting kids from receiving private swimming coaching at their clubs, unless they can pass a “swim test”. Pretty difficult one I must say, which I doubt most staff or even coaches can do. The aim, is for kids to join there new learn to

swim programme, of which no communication has been sent out. I have spoken to furious parents and rent paying coaches. So @virginactiveSA is your next step to make us do army style battery tests before training with a personal trainer?

Hi @SpecSaversSA , quick question. Is it all possible to get prescription sports sunglasses for a 10 year old in South Africa, or is it a privilege solely reserved for developed countries?

Sincere appreciation to @CityofCT. Had an electrical fault. After my electrician phoned them, they were at my house in 30 minutes. Please let that sink in. It is a response time unheard of anywhere in the world. Well done!

Dear @CityofCT. Can we please have more visible law enforcement on our roads? During a 4 hour cycle yesterday I observed at least 10 incidents of dangerous and negligent driving. The level of aggression of road users is out of control. @PedalPowerPPA @safecyclists

Hey @CTCycleTour , glad to see you’re back on the calender. On behalf of my kiddo, please don’t forget the juniors.

No @CTCycleTour , No problem. As a quick DIY fix, get a couple of mates, add frequent coffee stops and voila, CTCT 109 for 109 done.

@Rbjacobs, is this information on your website still correct? Your Longbeach Mall branch doesn’t seem to think so. Or maybe they just like me loosing my turn in the queue to rush home for a birth certificate. fnb.co.za/youth-and-student-…

My son is 7 and learnt his first lesson about banking today. Never ever trust the @FNBSA brand.

Shoutout to the team riding in @FreewheelZA kit today. Mate had a bit of a tumble in Simonstown and the two docs in the team were quick to assist. Some bruises and scrapes but all okay. Great to have fellow cyclists looking out for one another. @PedalPowerPPA @safecyclists

Dear @virginactiveSA patrons. Giving yourself a haircut in the locker room (with clippers nogal) is disgusting and unhygienic, and ruins it for other patrons. It is not the job of cleaners to clean up after your filth. Go to a barber, or do it at home.

Well done to @LinkAfricaFibre and @MWEBTweets for repairing my fibre line within 24 hrs of calling. My faith in humanity somewhat restored.

@virginactiveSA review on opening day. 1. The booking system - still not working. 2. The clubs are extremely well set up. Plenty of space and not too many patrons so social distancing is a breeze. Govt can definitely re consider the 50 person limitation.

3. Training with a mask is not for the faint hearted. Experienced an FTP drop similar to being at altitude. 4. The no towel rule, although initially making sense, is a real kicker in practice. Dealing with high HR sweat on a wattbike with a paper towel is akin to draining the

dead sea with a dishwashing sponge. 5. The pool was awesome. Plenty of space to swim and the cleanest I’ve ever seen it. 6. Kauai doesn’t take cash or cards. Download their app and pre-link your card before you go. 7. Overall, clubs are doing their best. Good to be back!

Good morning @virginactiveSA, been perusing your site but can’t find the info. Will your pools be open, and how do I go about booking a slot in one?

Chiropractor diagnosed me today. My body is out of whack due to a lack of swimming. Man oh man I miss the pool. Can’t wait for @virginactiveSA to open. The sea is just too damn cold at the moment.

Amazing to see the outrage at @Garmin being down. Just use the USB cable provided, plug it into a computer and manually upload workouts? What’s the issue? It works with @Strava and @TrainingPeaks. Suck it up. It’s 2020. The year from hell. Adapt, improvise, overcome.
