Aquatics

 

 

Enjoy numerous activities in our indoor, heated swimming pool. From swim lessons to birthday pool parties to water exercise classes you’ll find water fun at the YMCA.

There are a few benefits to swimming that some of the other cardio workouts do not have:

  • Swimming is a low impact sport as you do not experience shocks from jumping or running. Even cycling can have more of an impact on your joints. This makes swimming one of the better activities for people with joint issues.
  • Swimming involves your entire body in the movement. Every bit of you is working to get you forward in the water, from the soles of your feet to your arms and shoulders. It is a total body workout!
  • Swimming is not only a cardio workout but a strength one as well, so you’re getting a double benefit: burning calories and building lean muscle tissue and strength at the same time. If you are looking for a workout to help you lose weight faster, swimming is a great option!

A few pool rules:

  • Only swimsuits are allowed in the pool – no cutoff shorts or street clothes.
  • All children 5 and under must have an adult 19 or over in the pool with them at all times.
  • All children 6-10 who require a swim aid must have an adult 19 or over in the pool area with them at all times.
  • Lifeguards may require swim testing.
