Adult Lap Swim & Steam Room 
During designated hours, lanes are reserved specifically for Adult Lap Swimming. Our steam room is also open to adults 18 and up during all Lap Swim hours. Please note that we can only guarantee lanes during these specified times - lanes cannot be guaranteed during other Family Swim hours.

Adult Beginner and Intermediate Swim Classes
These drop-in, Members-Only classes are great for Adults who have fears of the water, are new to swimming, or want to learn proper strokes and breathing enabling them to swim for longer distances. Our swim instructors for these classes are trained specifically to teach adults beginner and intermediate swimming skills. These classes take place at the same time in the pool, but we offer two groups each week based on skill level so we can be sure to offer the most appropriate level of instruction for each individual.

Adult Advanced Swim Classes: Endurance/Fitness and Technique
These drop-in, Members-only Adult classes are designed to help advanced swimmers improve their speed and swimming endurance (in our Fitness/Endurance class) or learn new strokes and refine their stroke technique (in our Technique class). Join our Swim Team coach and advanced-level instructors for weekly sessions, customized for the participants of each particular class. Our experienced instructors will help you achieve your swimming goals.

NEW: Adult AquaJog
This low-impact adult water aerobics class is a fun, energetic addition to both our Adult Fitness and Aquatics programs. Swimmers are led by an instructor through a series of deep-water exercises with the support of a floatation belt.
