Aquatics

The unique properties of water make it the ideal environment for exercise – and our 25-yard, 6-lane pool with water temperature at 84 degrees, provides a great venue to meet your exercise needs. Almost anything you can do on land can be done in the water – aerobic conditioning, strength training, weight loss, and increased flexibility. Swimming is good for your heart and is low impact, no stress or strain on your joints. Plus, using all of your body’s muscle sets, a good workout can be done in less than thirty minutes. All abilities can benefit from water exercise, whatever age or fitness level because you are in control of your movements. We have many programs available to teach or improve your swimming and fitness skills in the water. For more info, click any of the following links.
