Courses include:

Water Exercise:  This instructor lead session, will guide participants through a water movement routine designed to develop and increase flexibility, muscle endurance, and strength, cardiovascular and overall fitness.  The session is held in shallow/deep water and uses equipment such as dumbbells, and noodles.  The activities are suitable for all levels of fitness including those coping with arthritis or general mobility challenges.

Deep Water Exercise: This course will guide participants through a routine that will help increase flexibility, endurance, and strength. The session is held in deep water which increases the cardio-vascular benefit of the activity, emphasizes good posture, and increases the overall intensity and benefit of the exercises. Jogging belts, noodles, and dumbbells are used. Although not an advanced class, students report this course to be a bit more challenging than Water Exercise.
