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. Patrons 16 years of age and older can enjoy the Hydro Therapy Pool. (Lap/water walking is not available during Water Boot Camp, Water Zumba, or swim lessons.) Check the pool schedule for lap/spa/walk hours. |
Water Aerobics Class |
|
| This low impact activity uses water as resistance to improve your strength, posture, flexibility and coordination while getting a great cardiovascular workout. Work at your own pace, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced level participant. Pass holders pay no additional fee for this class. See the pool schedule for class days/times. | ![]() |
Moving My Joints |
| This class is for those who are challenged by arthritis or have special conditions that make the other group fitness classes too difficult. This session is beneficial for participants who need a slower paced workout. Pass holders pay no additional fee for this class. See the pool schedule for class days/times. |
