Indoor Pool

Our pool has been beautifully-refinished and flooded with natural light. Open seven days a week with a licensed lifeguard on duty, you can choose from a variety of aquatics classes, aquatics personal training, or a simple open swim each week, including:

  • Aqua Fitness: This class includes a 10-minute warm-up with stretching, a 20-minute cardiovascular water exercise segment and 15 minutes of toning & stretching with various pieces of exercise equipment.
  • Pool Volleyball: Join us for 30 minutes of fun and laughs as we see how many volleys we can get over the net. All are welcome.
  • Gentle Joints Program:  A 45 minute program developed specifically for people with arthritis. This water program has been documented to reduce arthritis pain and stiffness while keeping joints flexible and muscles strong. Exercising in our heated pool water provides gentle resistance to build muscle and strength.
  • Gentle Water Exercises: A 30-minute gentle pool class that incorporates guided water walking, along with exercises tailored to be easy on the bones and joints. This social and easy-going class is great for everyone!

Or  you can just enjoy some time in the heated whirlpool!

*Helsinki University Research (HUR) equipment was designed especially for seniors who want to stay strong as they age. After an initial assessment of balance deficits, trainers can customize programs using the embedded software in the machines. Residents can then simply insert their smart-bracelet when it’s time to work out. The unique air resistant technology eliminates pressure on joints and allows for smooth, uninterrupted movement in weight training.
