Aqua Fitness Sessions
POOL CLOSED / CLASSES SUSPENDED UNTIL SPRING 2026
Session Schedule
- View our Monthly Pool Session Schedule page for the days and times of the various sessions.
- Participants are restricted to the pool area and session times designated for their session type (lap, walk or fitness class) even if sessions overlap. EXAMPLE, a patron that has opted/paid for the lap swim session should not enter/move to the designated aqua walk area to exercise.
- All participants are required to wear the identifying band provided upon entering at all times.
- Age requirements for aqua fitness sessions are as follows:
- Ages 16 to 17 may participate in sessions but must have a completed MINOR Waiver form (PDF) on file to attend without an adult present. Youth without a completed waiver form on file will not be admitted to the facility without an adult. No Exceptions!
- Ages 12 to 15 may participate in sessions, but they must be accompanied by an adult and during lap swim must share a lane with that adult (both individuals must pay the session fee).
- Participants are expected to follow all session rules and any direction given by the lifeguards on duty. Disruptive behavior toward other patrons will be addressed.
- Schedules may vary without notice due to weather, maintenance, instructor, or staff issues - check the monthly pool session schedule regularly for updates.
