MASTERS SWIM
The Masters' Swim program is for experienced adult swimmers. The class is for those who desire to improve their fitness level, to train for a special event, or to have the support and motivation provided by exercising with a group.
We swim around 3,000 yards during the hour. Having basic swimming skills is a prerequisite, and we recommend that newcomers to the class be able to swim at least 500 yards (10 laps / 20 lengths) without stopping and be able to repeat 100s at a 2:00 minute interval.
Competitions for Masters Swimmers are offered!
WATER AEROBICS
Water aerobics supports the body and reduces the risk of injury. Exercise in the water can also help prevent overheating, as the water continually cools the body. Plus, you get a great workout while protecting your joints from the impact of dry-land aerobics.
Prenatal and postpartum members may join any water aerobics class. Please talk with the instructor for any specific modifications in your workout.
