Instructors are able to give different modifications to make an exercise harder for the more progressed member or easier for those who have had injuries and joint replacement, etc. Learn more
Arthritis Class: This class is intended for those with Arthritis or other physical conditions that call for low-‐intensity pool exercise. Instructors take the class through range-‐of-‐motion exercises that keep the joints fluid and moving. We keep the water between 84-‐88 degrees to meet Arthritis Foundation regulations. This class is reserved for those physically unable to participate in other classes like Water Walking & Water Aerobics. Learn more

Instructors take participants through a variety of water walking techniques utilizing both upper and lower body exercises. This class is intended to keep you moving for 45-‐60 minutes at a pace that will get your heart rate up yet still be appropriate for multiple levels. Learn more
Lap Swim/Solo Aquatics: Lap swim and solo aquatics is offered multiple times throughout the day allowing members to use the pool for lap swimming, water walking, water jogging, stretching, or whatever they desire as long as they keep moving.
