Aquatics Class Descriptions

Aqua Action:  This is a water class with lots of stretching and strengthening.  Water toys are used and games are played, all in the water's gentle environment.  Come join the fun and leave with a smile on your face, feeling refreshed and ready for the rest of your day.

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!

 

Cardio Splash: An intermediate class that can be modified for all levels.  More emphasis on cardiovascular conditioning than toning, but that is incorporated as well.  You will feel refreshed and invigorated after you leave.

Power Surge:  A moderate intensity water class combining a variety of strength and cardio moves in the pool.  Enjoy the liquid environment of a good workout while you whittle away your waistline!
