Aquatics
Pool exercise is beneficial because the buoyancy and heat help reduce the stress on joints during exercise. It is a good way to exercise if you cannot do land based exercise or have chronic muscle and joint pain like fibromyalgia and arthritis.
Our 30x50 foot warm water pool helps make exercise easier and is a great way to increase your flexibility, tone muscles and make you feel better. Our pool is kept at an average temperature of approximately 90 degrees for your comfort. We also have separate dressing rooms for men and women and a handicapped pool chair lift.
We have classes throughout the day and early evening including 6 am classes for "early birds". We even have a Water Adaptation class which is a one hour personal session to help alleviate your fear of water so you can enjoy the benefits of exercising in water.
No prescription is necessary. However, you must fill our ParQ form that lists you medical conditions. We will then send this form to your physician as we need physician approval for you to participate.
