Relaxing escape at Ace Water Spa before summer ends

Summer season is almost over and it's good to be back at Ace Water Spa Pasig branch. It was last 2012 when we had our first Ace Water Spa hydrotherapy massage experience.

I know that a spa is what we need to beat the heat and the stress, and have fun at the same time!

There are a variety of massage systems available, and of course, we tried everything. It's a do-it-yourself push button system that gives you the freedom to choose the water equipment to use. My kids had a grand time. They enjoyed the Bubble Bed and the Lazy River most.

Hydrotherapy massage: a kind of therapeutic massage that utilizes “Ultrasonic Jet System” that massages specific areas of the body with its aquatic jets strategically located to relax and soothe tired and aching muscles. This treatment is best done in heated water. - Ace Water Spa FAQ 

Hydrotherapy massage is beneficial to our health. It's a great stress reliever to soothe aching muscles. We all felt relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed.

another great spa experience :)

Trying the Herbal Pools.
Kids are not allowed in this area. My parents and I enjoyed this relaxing aromatic experience. I was able to try the red herbal pool, the Mint green tea pool (36 degrees Celsius) and the yellow Jasmine pool (38 degrees Celsius). I find the Lavander purple pool too hot for me (40 degrees).

And the Lap pool.
We also took a swim at the lapping pool. It's 25m and about 4.3 feet deep. There's a separate side for the "fun swim" and those who can swim non-stop. My son took his first swimming lessons here under Bert Lozada Swimming School. [Read about my son's swimming lesson here.]

Bert Lozada summer swim school

Last summer, my son joined the BLSS Summer Swimming Program at D'Ace Plaza Indoor Heated Pool, Ace Water Spa in Pasig City.

You can check my post Swimming Lessons: Bert Lozada Swim School at Ace Water Spa.

Since he has no swimming experience, he was part of the Jammer 1 group (7 years old and above). This program is for kids who are developing 15m Survival Swim and 15m Basic Freestyle. It's a 10 1-hour lesson package from Monday to Saturday. He enjoyed the daily lessons and develop confidence and basic skills as well.

What I like is the small teacher to student ration and the comprehensive progress assessment report that they give each student.  They have a personalized approach, which is best especially for kids who have no confidence in the water.

Swimming Lessons: Bert Lozada Swim School at Ace Water Spa

My son took his first swimming lessons at Bert Lozada, Ace Water Spa, Pasig branch. He was part of the first batch.

happiness!

Off to the male locker.

Since my son is already 7-years-old, he's not allowed be inside the female locker room. That worried us since he'll be alone inside the male locker room! Grateful that Ace Water Spa and Bert Lozada's staff assisted him inside.

see you after class!

Parents and guardians are not allowed in specified places, especially in the pool area. There are attendants so you won't have to worry too much. Just keep a watchful eye on your kid.

I watched and took some photos from the 2nd floor window.

Stretching exercises before the lesson.

Getting ready.

Basic floating. Head under water. 

now, I'm floating!

Facing his fears and learning the basics are very important for me. They taught lessons fitted for my son and he was able to progress at his own rate.

I agree with their swimming method, "There are no shortcuts to achieve total independence or success in the water."

Glad that my son was able to enjoy his summer days. Though things had not started well on his first day, and we have to call on the school's attention, it ended well.

I know that the10 days swimming session is not enough since he's just starting with the basics. Until now, he's asking me to take more swimming lessons at Ace Water Spa.

Thanks to everyone at Ace Water Spa, for making Brent's summer lessons an enjoyable one! Special mention to Teacher Rojar (his swimming teacher) and Teacher Oliver (his locker room buddy).


If you're planning to enroll your kids at D' Ace Plaza, here are some reminders:

• Be there 15 minutes before the class starts
• Before every lesson, you need to go to Bert Lozada's office at the lower ground to give your ID in exchange of a swimmer's pass
• Then, present the swimmer's pass at the reception area to get your stub and locker room key
• Go inside the locker room and give your stub. They will keep your shoes, sandals or slippers
• Then, take a shower a few minutes before the lesson starts

What I love most about Ace Water Spa?

• Swimming at their heated indoor pool without worrying about sunburn
• Helpful and courteous staffs
• Systematic procedures and safety rules for everyone's benefit

Summer isn't over yet. You and your kids still have time to take swimming lessons or other activities before school starts.

You can join the last batch of Bert Lozada's swimming lessons. Batch 5 runs from May 22 - June 1, 2013.

Ace Water Spa Pasig

excited for their spa experience :)

After school, our family decided to visit Ace Water Spa in Pasig City for mama's pre-birthday celebration. We spent hours at trying different Hydrotherapy massages. The kids enjoyed the kid's pool with the elephant slide and the lazy river where they lied down on floating foams.

The Rainfall Acupuncture is my favorite. I love how the raindrops massage different parts of my body while lying down. My daughter loved being there too, while my son enjoyed the Bubble Pool.

The Head and Shoulder Massage, Waist Jet Massage and Jet Chair Massage are great as well. Mom enjoyed the Water Falls massage that much.

We also tried the hot Herbal Pools. Kids below 12 years old are not allowed in this area because of the hot temperature. These hot herbal pools have natural herbs like lavender, jasmine and mint.

After immersing in the hot herbal pool, you have to plunge into the ice cold pool. This is needed to keep the body temperature and heart rate at normal level. Or you can take the Eight Nozzle Shower instead, which is an alternative way of cooling down.

There are also Steam and Sauna rooms which we've tried for just a few seconds.

We left the place before 10 p.m. We really enjoyed our first visit at Ace Water Spa and we're planning of coming back soon. It relaxes and soothes our tired muscles, and we felt great the morning after. 

The different kind of Hydrotherapy Massage experience with its soft, moderate and hard intensities is really therapeutic. You can choose which massages would benefit specific areas of your body.

Fitted swimwear is strictly followed. Swim caps are provided courtesy of Ace. You only need to bring your own bath towel. Toiletries like shampoo, liquid soap, hair dryer, gel, and cotton buds are also provided.

The place has spacious locker room to keep your belongings, shower area and changing area. It is also best to go on a weekday and during the non-peak hours. Cameras are not allowed inside the wet area.

Rate:
Php 550.00/adult and P250.00/kid (4 ft. and below)
This is good for 4 hours of stay.
