What is the Aqua Fitness Club?
Water exercise done to music. It includes aerobic exercise, balance improvement and muscle stretching.
The club was founded to encourage residents to exercise, providing a gentler environment using the pool. You DO NOT need to know how to swim. The movements are performed in waist to chest deep water, done to music and verbal instruction, which tell the movements to be done. Classes last for 50 minutes. The first 20 minutes in the Free Standing class is aerobic, followed by 20 minutes of stretching and low impact toning. The final 10 minutes is for cool down. An Instructor and Helpers are available at all classes to assist or answer any questions.
The membership fee is $5 per year. There are 5 Sessions held annually, each Session will have up to 17 Classes. Class fee is $15 for each Class taken in a Session. Each Class in a Session will have sixteen 50- minute sets, two per week, over the eight week Class time frame. Anyone wanting to attend Classes must be a current RCSC Cardholder in good standing and must register for every Class wanting to attend prior to participating.
Classes Available at 5 Pools
Classes are held at designated recreation center pools (Sundial Large, Sundial Therapeutic, Oakmont, Marinette and Mountain View) and will vary throughout the year. All the exercises are done in a freestanding position in waist to chest deep water, either in place or moving in the pool. Some require good stability. Sculling is taught to aid in balance.
A stretch and tone class is available for those with limited mobility or who prefer a non-aerobic exercise class.
