GENTLE AQUAFIT

Participants will improve balance, increase their range of motion and slowly increase their endurance.
Taking place in our uniquely shallow, warm pool, participants can enjoy many benefits of the class without the worry of getting their hair wet, water being too cold or needing any knowledge of swimming. Each class is 45 minutes in length with a maximum of 15 participants.
