The classes are strictly women's only with female instructors however, the facility is open to the general public. Waterponyz Wangara is a smaller, private purpose-built facility. During the women's only swimming lessons it is strictly women only in the facility. The door will be closed and blinds pulled down so members of the public cannot see the classes.
