Aqua Challenge:
  Water, intensity and fun!  This class is designed to really get you moving.  You'll experience jumping jacks, power movements, suspended exercises, movement around and across the pool, and lots more.  This class can be modified for almost any level, but will be most appropriate for the exerciser who wants an added challenge.  Come ready to work it!
