Ai-Chi:
Free to Members: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:45 - 9:20 am
The class is similar to Tai Chi. Class done shallow end of pool. Ai-Chi re-energizes and cleanses the mind, body,and spirit. The term Ai-Chi translates to English as "Love Energy". The pool lights are off and peaceful calming back ground music creates a sense of serenity. Relaxtion excercises include slow large flowing movements taught with continuous deep breathing. The slow fluid repetitive movement produces a relaxed physical and emotional state, improves muscle tone and increases flexibility and range of motion. The deep breathing increases blood circulation by sending more oxygen to all muscles and organs. The class will help relieve the body of tension, pain, and stress. It also reduces the symptoms of joint, muscular and connective tissue ailments.

Easy Stretch:
Free to Members: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 - 8:45 am
This class is designed for individuals to move and stretch with the use of the water. Each participant will be able to work at their own pace. The water temp does vary although we try to keep it around 83 - 85 degrees. Class done shallow end of pool. Any questions please call Linda 269-731-3043.

Water Aerobics:
Free to Members: Mon-Wed-Fri from 8:00 - 8:50 am; Tue-Thu from 6:00 - 6:50 pm; and Saturday from 8:15 - 9:05 am
This water class will allow participants the opportunity to both exercise aerobically and tone in the water. The class consists of 20 - 25 minutes of aerobic level workout followed by the use of resistance tools to tone and define muscles for the remaining 20 - 25 minutes of class. It is available for all levels of fitness. Those who need to avoid impact exercise may find particular value in this type of class. Some classes may be designated as Water Boot Camp.
