My sonβs swim instructor has given him more confidence in the water than I ever thought! To the point where he loves swimming now and talks about potentially joining a swim team!
I love the small pool, which is supposed to be warm. This past week it has been very cold.
I love the aqua classes especially Debbie on Monday and Jane on Thursday.
Variety of aquatic exercise programs; availability at multiple times and on six days out of the week. Both of these are helpful for those recovering from injuries and as well as general exercise. Instructors are uniformly quite wonderful
