Aqua Aerobics

Aqua Aerobics
This aqua class choreographed with upbeat, inspiring music is fun and lively with programming designed for the shallow water four-foot-deep pool using light noodles for some of the movements. Beginning with a rhythmic stretch that flows into an easy warm up, the program takes participants through fun imbedded aerobic intervals interspersed with periods of active recovery and core and neuromotor skill development. The class culminates with a cool down and gentle stretch. Each participant is encouraged to work at their individual level, and no previous experience is required.

Aqua Aerobics Deep Water Conditioning
with Lisa McKinney
Aqua Aerobics Deep Water Conditioning
This class is a cross training and rehabilitation method using low impact resistance training which can produce aerobic results, improve full range of motion, increase strength, all without impacting joints. Participants wear a buoyancy belt also called an Aqua Jogger belt and move in various running motions suspended in deep water. The Aqua Jogger belt helps to keep the participant suspended and upright in the water, but it does not have the support of a life jacket; and therefore, this activity is not advised for the unskilled swimmer.
IMPORTANT: Each participant will need to bring their own aqua jogger belt appropriate for their individual level of buoyancy. They can be found online. Prices will vary, $35 and up depending on source.
Schedule: This class has two sessions. Dates are subject to change based on pool availability. Check emails often after registration for updates.

Day Trip - Shakespeare Festival "As You Like It"

Love will find a way
The Forest of Arden comes to life in the Thomas Theatre when Rosalind and her cousin Celia escape an oppressive uncle and take to the wilderness. Disguised as a man, Rosalind searches for her true love, Orlando—who doesn’t recognize her in her new persona. But anything can happen in the forest, including poems in the trees, star-crossed shepherds, and a band of exiles who become family.
