Most of our classes are conducted in shallow water (waist to chest depth), so swimming ability is not required. For our Deep Water Fitness class, flotation belts are provided and a basic comfort in water is helpful. Our instructors will make sure you feel safe at all times.
Bring a swimsuit, a towel, a water bottle and water-appropriate footwear (aqua shoes are recommended but not required). Some classes use foam dumbbells or resistance belts — these are provided by the facility.
