Aquatic Exercise Programs

Need to add variety to your workout schedule? At Si View Pool we offer two levels of water exercise programs – Arthritis Therapy and Deep Water Aerobics. Water exercise increases cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility and promotes weight loss and increased health. No swimming ability necessary (if going in deep water you should be comfortable in deep water – deep water students use flotation). Water exercise is a drop in program, pre-registration is not required! Classes can be self-adapted to meet your specific needs. First class is FREE!
