Rec Swim

Rec swim is open swim time for pass holders. Try the three-story water slide, take a trip around the lazy river, or go for a spin in the vortex. Children 10 years and under can enjoy the zero-depth entry and water play feature. In addition, there are three 25-yard lap lanes available during scheduled rec swim hours for your workout. See the pool schedule for rec swim hours.

Lap/Spa/Walk

Water provides the opportunity to exercise in numerous ways that are not available in typical land based activities. Water lends itself to a well-balanced workout that improves all major components of physical fitness, aerobic training, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition.

Check the pool schedule for lap/spa/walk hours.

Moving My Joints
