against your body to provide a wide variety of conditioning activity. Just like

enough to help you reach new levels of fitness. No swimming is required

resistance of the water. The exercises are designed to strengthen your heart

and skeletal muscles, increase agility, as well as improving range of motion.
The water’s buoyancy supports joints, allowing freedom of movement, which
can prevent stiffness and soreness. When: Tuesdays and Thursdays, June 6-July 27, 2-2:50 p.m.
