Our Aquatics Center is complete with a six-lane, 25-yard exercise pool and a warm therapy pool designed for those with specific orthopedic limitations. We also offer a 12-seat whirlpool designed to massage and relax your muscles after a tough workout. Within the aquatics center members can enjoy saunas and steam rooms in each locker room.
The Center is open to all fitness members. Members may choose to exercise independently, with a class, or swim laps. If you would like assistance to begin your water program, a Fitness Specialist is available to prescribe an exercise routine specific to your needs or limitations. Aquatic exercise is a great low, non-impact exercise for those individuals with arthritis, fibromyalgia, or other orthopedic limitations or restrictions.

We offer both deep and shallow water classes. Deep-water aerobics is a high intensity form of exercise that is designed for individuals who are interested in increasing their cardiovascular endurance. Approximately 60 percent of the class time is dedicated to cardiovascular exercise and elevating the heart rate. Classes also consist of a warm-up, specific exercises for strengthening, and stretching exercises for flexibility.
Shallow-water classes are very similar to deep-water classes. They involve cardiovascular, strengthening, and flexibility exercises for those more comfortable with their feet on the floor. Shallow-water classes are a good, low-impact form of exercise that modifies land-based aerobics for the water.
Our arthritis classes are taught in the therapy pool. These classes meet the special needs of people with arthritis by reducing pain and stiffness while increasing joint mobility.
For members, we offer convenient lap swim and family swim times, which are posted quarterly.
An aquatic instructor is available for one-on-one sessions teaching flexibility, cardiovascular endurance and strength, and developing water workouts. Private lessons are also available for beginner, intermediate, and advanced swimmers.
