Aquatic Fitness Classes
Active Adults Welcomed! Included in Membership.
Water exercise is safe, effective and fun for all ages and all abilities, from a beginner to the professional athlete. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy on the joints, while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles. Visit our Schedules page for the most updated class schedule.
AQUAFit
This class utilizes both the shallow and deep end of our warm water pool and will work endurance, toning, strength training, flexibility and range of motion.
HYDROFIT
Focus on cardio, strength and flexibility. This exercise will reduce stress on joints and muscles. The water resistance and use of different aquatic equipment will give your muscles tone and reduce body fat as you work at your own level of intensity. This class is suitable for all levels of fitness. This class is offered in the Olympic Pool deep end, Olympic Pool shallow end and our Warm Water Pool.
SHALLOW WATER WALKING
Walk your way to fitness using the resistance of the water. Fun and easy with long-lasting results.

Water walking shoes are recommended.
