Water Exercise
This popular form of exercise is great for anyone looking to get a good workout without the aching and soreness. The buoyancy and resistance of the water allows participants to work hard without the pain. All classes include strengthening muscles and an aerobic workout. Our instructors have professional certifications through AEA, SCW, The Arthritis Foundation, and more. Water exercise is offered in both shallow and deep water, but participants do not need to know how to swim. Hydro-Fit equipment is used in all classes and flotation belts are worn in the deep water.
Coupons for classes may be purchased at Olympic Indoor Swim Center during regular business hours. All coupons have an expiration date and refunds will not be given for unused coupons. Classes failing to meet a minimum of nine participants on a consistent basis for two weeks are subject to cancellation.
