Adult Swim Lessons
We are committed to helping every adult
learn to love the water. The adult swim class
will teach you how to have confidence in the
water. Our approach is centered on having
each student repeat a simple skill in a
relaxed group environment until they gain the
confidence to move onto the next skill. Once
an adult becomes confident that the water
will hold them up, they will be ready to begin
learning proper swim strokes.

What is Aquarobics?
What is Aquajog?
What is Lane Swim?
Aquarobics may also be called aqua aero-
Aquajog is an impact free exercise class which
Lane swim is swimming laps for fitness and
bics or water aerobics. It is essentially comparable to an aerobics class set in a gym, but
instead takes place in a pool.
Some aquarobics classes are well suited to
even nonswimmers, while others include
some portions of lap swimming.
The principles behind aquarobics are
twofold.
Traditional aerobics classes cause significant
stress to the body because the feet are landing on hard wood, or worse, concrete floors.
Aquarobics, because it takes place in water,
means less impact to the bones and joints.
Additionally, aquarobics is a bit more work
for the body because one has to move one’s
body through the resistance of water, which
burns more calories, more quickly. A thirty
minute jog on land will burn about 240
calories, while the same jog in the water will
burn about 340 calories.
Aquarobics practiced in water at least waist
or chest deep will significantly reduce impact
on the legs, reducing some of the unwanted
side effects of regular aerobics classes like
shin splints.
However, deeper water also requires harder
work to move one’s body through water
resistance.
improves strength, flexibility and endurance. It
incorporates the use of floatation belts and is
best performed in deep water but can also be
done in shallow water. All movements are done
completely in the water and your hands and
arms never leave the water the only thing out
of the water is your head!

in your body especially if you change stokes
after so many laps. We have a program where
the FIRST time you complete 100 km, you will
receive a FREE 3 month pass to continue on
your lane swim journey.
There are some common sense guideline to
follow when you are lane swimming.
* An overtaking swimmer should gently but
distinctly touch the feet of the swimmer being
overtaken. It may take two or three touches,
but overtaking swimmers should not need to
repeatedly slap or grab at the legs of a slower
swimmer to politely make their presence
known.
* Swimmers enjoying a draft behind a strong
lead swimmer, but who are just barely able to
hold that pace should think twice before tagging the leader's toes and requesting to move
ahead.
* A lead swimmer who feels a touch on the feet
from an overtaking swimmer, should continue
to the next wall, then stop in the corner of the
lane to let faster swimmer(s) past.
* A swimmer who has been touched on the feet
should move to a corner of the lane as soon as
they get to the next wall in order to make way
for passing swimmers turning there.
* A lead swimmer who sees another swimmer
coming up close behind as she turns at the wall
should consider stopping and moving over .
* Swimmers being overtaken should never stop in
the middle of the pool.
