Swim Workouts For Every Level Swimmer
Ready to make a splash this summer? Our pools are waiting for you! Whether you’ve perfected your butterfly stroke or are more likely to dog paddle, you can get in a great workout in our pools. Find your level below and try out one of these workout ideas next time you’re at the club.
Beginner
You don’t have to be an expert swimmer to enjoy some time in the pool! If you’re a safe swimmer but don’t enjoy traditional swimming strokes, we have some ideas.
- Water walking: Keep your core and back muscles engaged as you walk through water in the shallow end of the pool. Make sure to walk with a long stride and press into your heel with each step. If you want to mix it up, try performing high knees or walking lunges.
- Aqua Zumba or Aqua Fit: Our aqua classes will keep your head above water and your heart pumping! If you’re looking for more of a dance party vibe, try Aqua Zumba. If you’d enjoy more athletic moves, try Aqua Fit.
