Man: Well, we have excellent facilities, including a new gymnasium and several tennis courts. OUT tennis team. are always looking for new people.

Woman: Oh, I was never any good at gymnastics and I don't think I've got the time to put into learning tennis. No, rm more interested in swimming, and I'd also like to take a few yoga classes if I can.

Man: OK, welL wc have three swimming poolc;: an Olympic size 50 metre pool and a 25 metre pool, which are both outdoors, and a heated indoor pool, which is just 15 metres long but is very popular with our members in the winter!

Woman: I bet it is! Do members have to pay to use the pools?

Man: Well, members don't pay for the pools if they just want to swim laps on their own. We even offer complimentary classes for beginners, but we do charge a small fee if you want to take part in the advanced training sessions, and there's also a fee for our water-based keep-fit class.

Woman: Right. And would [ need to book any of the facilities or can I just come whenever r want?

Man: We don't actually allow anyone to book the swimming lanes or the gym equipment, but for safety reasons we can only have a maximum of seven people in the sauna at anyone time, so you do need to put your name on the list for that.

Woman:Fine. Now, I'd also really like to take a yoga class. Do you have any?

Man: Yes. There are classes on Monday, Tuesday and Friday in the morning from ten till eleven. and then every Saturday and Sunday in the evening. Those classes are a bit longer, starting at six and finishing at seven thirty.

Woman:Right. I'll just make a note of that. So, does that mean that if I enrol I can come on each of those days?

Man: No, each day is a different level, so you only come once a week.

Woman:Oh. I see. Well, I've been doing yoga for a little while now, but I am still fmding it quite difficult. Which level do you think I should choose?

Man: Most people stan at the lowest level. and then you can talk to the instructor about changing if you think it's too easy.

Woman:OK. How much are the classes?

Man: They're £1.50 an hour for members.

Woman:Great. Now, I'd like to come in and look at the facilities. Would someone be able to show me around?

Man: Yes, no problem.

Woman:Who should I ask for?

Man: Ask for me. My name is John Doherty - that's DOHERTY.

And should I just ask for you at the reception?

Great. ['d like to come tomorrow if that's OK. What time suits you?

Man: Well, I have appointments from nine to ten thirty. so could you make it eleven? I'm sure that will be fine, but can I just take your direct number in case something else crops up?
