Aquatic Exercise & Fitness
Arthritis Aquatic Program
Ruth Sherman teaches the Arthritis Foundation Family Y Aquatic Program in our heated Brophy pool. The
class consists of specially designed exercises which can help improve joint flexibility, and relieve
pain and stiffness. It is not necessary to know how to swim. Persons with severe joint problems or who
have had joint surgery are encouraged to check with their doctors about the need for special
precautions.
VIP Water Physical Fitness
Join a certified water exercise instructor with specialty training for various populations (MS,
Diabetes, Parkinsons, or Stroke patients) for a great class in the pool! Learn various water exercises,
walking techniques, muscle strength, flexibility and stretching routines to maximize the power of
water. Bad backs, hips and knees are also welcome!
Stauffer Shallows
Pre/Post Natal Water Exercise Hour
A safe, effective and enjoyable water exercise class for the pre/post natal woman. Class includes
muscle strengthening, flexibility, stretching and moderate cardio segments taught by a certified water
exercise instructor whose specialties include pregnancy and post-partum programming. Program enrollment
is on-going throughout the session and will be prorated.
Aqua Fitness
Classes are not sychronized swimming, water ballet or lap swims! We run, jog, bicycle, cross-country
ski, step, row the boat and weight train against the water's resistance in a high intensity, low impact,
fat burning, cardio-vascular, muscle strengthening non-swimming workout! You can be fit or out of

find benefits at any of our classes.
