Shallow Water Aerobics
The shallow, warm-water pool provides a great setting for an enjoyable 55 minute full-body workout. Develop cardiovascular fitness and muscle toning through exercises and routines, which include the use of resistive equipment. Each class is designed to address the fitness levels of the participants. Swimming skills are not required. Beginners are welcome.

Deep Water Aerobics
If you are comfortable in deep water and want to add some variety to your exercise program, include the dimension of a deep water aerobic routine! Deep-water workouts offer a superior range of motion and allow for greater muscular strengthening. Deep-water equipment will be used for buoyancy and added resistance. Most exercises are done in a vertical position and are designed to provide a great full-body workout.

Active Older Adults (AOA) AQUACISE
The shallow, warm-water pool provides a great setting to get moving with ease. Water exercise will help improve range of motion and flexibility, develop cardiovascular fitness, tone muscles, and improve circulation, all in a buoyant, liquid environment. Each class is designed to address the fitness levels of the participants and may include the use of equipment for added resistance or buoyancy. Swimming skills are not required. Beginners are welcome.

Arthritis Foundation YMCA Aquatic Program
This water exercise program includes range of motion and muscular strength and endurance exercises. This program was designed by the Arthritis Foundation for people with arthritis and other related conditions, but is beneficial for all individuals who are ready to join a low intensity exercise class. Participants will experience many benefits, including the opportunity to develop greater mobility and range of motion through aquatic exercise. The warm water in the YMCA’s instructional pool makes starting this basic level class easy.
