Recreational Pool Classes

Jump Right In – The Water is Great!

Our popular Water Fitness classes take place in the Recreational Pool (86 degrees) and Therapy Pool (91 degrees). The properties of water provide low impact to the weight-bearing joints, increase circulation, and strengthen muscles in all directions of movement. Aquatic exercise is an appropriate and effective option for beginners, weekend warriors, and athletes. Classes focus on cardiovascular stamina, strength, and flexibility.

All water fitness passes, except for drop-in, include unlimited lap swimming. Drop-in passes include lap swimming for the day of use. Knowing how to swim is not required, however, you must feel comfortable in the Water. Please inform your instructor of your inability to swim. 

*Participants must be able to independently perform skills and must be ambulatory with or without an assistive device.

To register for Water Fitness Classes you must have a MindBody account Class descriptions, times, prices, and instructors are subject to change.
