Both are available with a membership to our Fitness Center or by enrolling in one of our many aquatic class programs.More about Sports Medicine exercise classes
The Lap Pool
The Lap Pool has five lanes and is 25 yards long. The majority of the pool is shallow, ranging from four feet to five feet deep. One-third of the pool is ideal for deep-water activities.
The pool is kept at a comfortable 82 degrees - a perfect temperature for activities such as lap swimming, water aerobics or deep water running classes. Stairs or a ramp can be used to enter the pool. A water wheelchair is available for individuals who need this access.
The Warm Water Pool
The Warm Water Pool gradually slopes from three and one-half to five feet deep. The pool is kept at a warm 92 degrees - a perfect temperature for stretching, strengthening and other less vigorous activities. A ramp can be used to enter the pool. A hydraulic lift is available for individuals with disabilities who need this access.
