Admission is $10 per class and space is limited.

In addition, wave classes are offered to help maintain a strong body and reach fitness goals using the benefits of water. These water exercise classes improve the body’s endurance, strength, flexibility and coordination using the therapeutic benefits of water. Classes cost $5 for a drop-in or $22 for eight sessions.

The rising wave program starts at 6 a.m. and showcases deep water sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays and shallow water classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The active wave class, meanwhile, begins at 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. with shallow water classes on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. The deep wave class runs at 8:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The pool also offers stroke performance training during lap swim for teens and adults on Tuesday and Thursday nights, 6-7 p.m. this summer. It is an opportunity to learn how to swim better, increase endurance, pump up an existing workout or prepare for a competitive event. Workouts are provided and a swim coach is available on-site for lap swim prices.

The Take Away the Aches program dives in on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11:45 a.m. These classes increase flexibility, strength and coordination with low impact exercise to improve your daily living.
