Programming:
Shallow Aquafit
Shallow Aquafit is a water exercise class taught by an instructor in the shallow end of the pool. The instructor will lead you through a moderately active routine where you will use the water’s resistance to build and tone muscle while maintaining a low impact on your joints. Equipment (foam barbells) will be provided.
Deep Aquafit
Deep Aquafit is a water exercise class taught by an instructor in the deep end of the pool. The instructor will lead you through a moderately active routine where you will use the water’s resistance to build and tone muscle while maintaining a low impact on your joints. Equipment (foam barbells/Aquabelts) will be provided. Since you must be able to swim in the deep end. Participants may be subjected to a swim test prior to the start of class.
Fit Lanes
This program has recently been redesigned to accommodate swimmers 7 and older. It is required that participants ages 7-13 be accompanied by a parent or guardian on deck for the entire duration of the swim. No children under the age of 7 will be permitted into this activity. Any participant, regardless of age, may be subjected to a swim test that must be completed successfully to take part in the program. If you are unable to swim the length of the pool or in deep water, we recommend you attend a leisure swim or a recreational swim. Those who are unable to pass the swim test will not be permitted to participate in fit lanes. Instruction will not be available at this time.
Leisure Swim
The leisure swim is a relaxed environment for those from ages 0-6 accompanied by an adult or those 13+ who are looking to enjoy the water at their own speed. Participants are welcome to bring their little ones, work on their swimming skills, water-walk, or simply relax and stretch in the pool. This is not a recreational swim as it is meant to be a more moderate environment. This activity will take place in both the shallow end and deep end. For those participants who wish to use the deep end, they will be required to successfully complete the swim test. Instruction will not be available at this time.

Children under the age of 14 who do not pass the swim test must remain within arms reach of an adult, anyone over the age of 14 who does not pass the swim test must remain in the shallow end for the duration of the swim.
