We’ve suffered
through the worst of what winter had to offer. It’s time to look forward to
warmer days and what better way to do that than to get in the pool! We have
four indoor pools with classes that appeal to kids and adults. Get in the pool
and get fit, learn something new, and get ready for spring and summer!
For Kids…

water and be able to dive in head first. Read

For Adults…
Deep Water Running (8 sessions, $42)
There is a lot you can do in the water including
running! Running in deep water is great for cardiovascular exercise and perfect
for those cross training and/or rehabilitating because there is simply no weight
bearing stress on the body. No swimming experience is necessary.
Participants must
be comfortable in deep water and utilize a Deep Water belt that can purchased
at the pool for $20.
We have a huge selection of Deep Water Running classes
starting in March. For a complete list see page 14 of the Spring Guide.
Lifeguard Training (9 sessions, $195)
This course will offer the training needed to become
certified in American Red Cross Lifeguarding, and First Aid and CPR/AED for
Professional Rescuer. Certifications are valid for 2 years. Attendance is
required at ALL sessions in order to be certified. Students MUST be 15 years
old by the last day of the course. Proof of age is required at the first class.
This course includes a pre-course check. The first date listed for every
Lifeguard Training course is a pre-course. You MUST pass the pre-course to
continue.
The pre-course consists of 3 parts:
1. A 300 meter
swim (front crawl/freestyle or breaststroke).
2. Tread water
for 2 minutes using only the legs.
3.
Swim 20 yards (free or breast), surface dive to 7-10
feet, retrieve a 10-pound object, return to the surface and swim 20 yards on
your back to starting position, exit the water on your own in under 1 minute 40
seconds.
Course days
and times vary. See pages 20-21 of the Spring
Guide for details.
