Confidence in the water
Swimming is a life skill as well as great exercise and a challenging sport. Swim 7 days a week year-round in our heated, indoor pools! Check out the variety of options we have for staying active in our pools.
Please be mindful of the weather! At the sound of thunder, pools, and pool decks will close immediately and all activities will remain suspended for 30 minutes after the last thunder is heard, as prescribed by the National Lightning Safety Institute.

Aquatic Activities:
- Independent Aqua Aerobics: This program is an opportunity to enjoy self-guided and paced aerobic activity. Work your muscles without additional strain on your joints in our 86 degree warm up pool. During this program participants will have the access to traditional aqua aerobics equipment (i.e. Resistance Dumbbells and Noodles) as well as other water fitness equipment (i.e. kickboards and pull buoys).
- Aqua Aerobics: low to moderate intensity, low impact class that offers weight training and cardio workouts in the water. These water-based aerobic classes offer the opportunity to build/maintain muscle mass and improve mobility, flexibility, and endurance while still being restorative in nature
- Aqua Zumba: low impact fun-filled dancing in the pool- all levels can do this fun workout.
- Water Walking: This program offers an opportunity for participants to work in some resistance cardio without the additional strain on their muscles or joints. Water walking can be done with or without resistance bells.
- Lap Swim: Lap Swim is held in the competition pool and offers an opportunity to participants to swim or walk laps. Many utilize this time to perform more strenuous swimming activities. Kickboards and Pull Buoys are provided during this program.
- Calming Swim: This program, often accompanied by soft instrumental music, is a time to relax in the warm-up pool without worry of excess splashing or similar activity. Participants may use this time to walk or swim gently, or just to float or sit. One may use this time as an opportunity to decompress.
- Open Swim: Open swim is an opportunity in which the pools are open for a wider variety of use (i.e. play, swimming, walking, etc). Many families choose to come during this time for active play. Diving rings and pool noodles are also available during this time.
