Group Exercise

 

We will be starting a 'new' beginning Tai Chi class mid-April.

 

Stay tuned...new Group Exercise schedule will be coming out mid-March.

 

Pool Etiquette

 

1.        Please refrain from talking during class. The sound amplifies in the pool areas and makes it difficult to hear the instructor. There is adequate time before/after class for socialization.

2.       Please be mindful of everyone in both pool areas; those that are participating in a class, those utilizing the whirlpool, swimming laps or walking by being considerate of their purpose for being here that day.

3.       During Classes, the instructor will designate an open lane for Non-Class Part Participants.  During non-class times, lap swimmers will have priority in the deep lane.  All non-lap swimmers should use the other lanes, during non-class times.

4.       If you use any equipment, please return it to its proper place before leaving the pool.
