Water Exercise Descriptions

Water Exercise Overview
One of the benefits of water exercise is that you can work at your own pace. Please exercise safely and choose an intensity level that feels comfortable for you. If you have a condition that may require modifications, let your instructor know before class begins. Instructors are generally available after class to answer questions.

Open Swim is a self-guided, non-instructor-led program that allows participants to exercise freely in the water. Water shoes are required, and participants must register in the Center Library. This is a great opportunity to move at your own pace while using the water’s resistance to support strength, flexibility, and comfortable movement.
Hours: Monday and Wednesday, 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
