Open Swim

Aqua Fit

Enjoy a variety of shallow or Deep Aqua-Fit classes. Great non-impact workouts that are fantastic for all around fitness and wellness.

Drop-in Aquafit

No pre-registration needed. We use the buoyancy and resistance of the water to give you a safe, effective full body workout. Focus will be on cardiovascular, muscle toning, flexibility and increased mobility. Various resistance equipment is used. You can participate in this class in either the shallow or deep end. Make a splash with us in this fun water class!

Aqua Cycle - Register 

Aqua Cycling is a fun full body exercise, easy on the joints and great for your muscles and overall toning. We use specially designed bike frames which sit stationary at the bottom of the pool. Sitting half out of the water, your legs pedal away enjoying the benefits of underwater exercise. The water provides its own benefits as the support and gentle pressure speeds up blood circulation and helps eliminate fat, burning more calories per hour than an average spinning class. Muscle soreness is reduced, and cellulite areas targeted, as the cool water massages while you move, and as with any underwater exercise your joints are subjected to far less stress. Aqua Cycling will have you feeling fitter, stronger, healthier, and happier than most land-based exercises.

Baby and Me Aquafit  - Register 

A fun filled exercise program for parents or caregivers for babies age 4 months to 18 months (15 to 35lb) who ride along in floatation boats. Equipped with a floating cord that allows constant contact with your child and can also be used as a towline. The parent will enjoy a workout in the water with some baby swim time at the end of the class. Perfect to socialize with other parents and children while getting back into shape! Babies must be able to hold their own head up.

Deep Water Aquafit - Register 

A low impact, high intensity class to get you moving in the water. Participants wear flotation belts and are in the deep end for the entire class.
