Aquatics
Come on in: the water here really is warm! Our aquatic center features a 5-lane, 25-yard salt water lap pool, warm-water therapeutic pool and hot tub.
You’re going to enjoy our salt water pool: it’s just as safe and sanitary as other pools, but uses fewer chemicals and leaves you without the dry skin, red eyes and discolored hair from chlorine.
Beyond our facilities, though, you’ll be amazed at what happens in the pools. Each week, we offer more than 20 water-based exercise classes, for all ability levels! These may include:
- Aqua Fitness
- Aqua Zumba
- Aqua Arthritis
- Water Striding
- Deep Water
- Ai Chi
Lap swimming lanes are always available, even when classes are in session.
