AQUAFITNESS
Exercising in the water provides a well balanced workout that improves all major components of fitness: cardiovascular training, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition. Water buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy on the joints, while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles.

Aquafitness is perfect for all fitness levels – whether you are a beginner, a non-swimmer or an advanced athlete! Aqua Personal Training is also available.

Note: Lessons are only available for members.

SWIM TRAINING
Swimming is one of the safest and most effective forms of exercise, engaging all the major muscle groups (e.g., shoulders, back, abdominals, legs, hips, glutes) while placing very little stress on bones and joints. Swimming combines the benefits of aerobic exercise with anaerobic exercise and resistance training, building endurance, strength and cardiovascular fitness and improving posture and flexibility.

Swimming is suitable for people of all ages and ability levels. It can be used to improve fitness and range of motion, as rehabilitation after an injury, or as cross-training. Whether you would like to master basic skills, improve your stroke, train for a triathlon or learn how you can complement your current fitness regime, we create tailored training to help you achieve your personal goals.
