Denny Price Family YMCA

Adult Aquatics

AquaCardio

Water provides the most balanced environment for exercise, it is three-dimensional! The fluid resistance allows flexibility, toning and muscular strength while challenging the cardiovascular system. Exercise at your own pace. Remember to contact your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Adult Water Walking

This is very low impact, designed to strengthen muscles, increase cardiovascular health and balance. Participants move through the water with a variety of leg and arm movements. The speed at which you move dictates the amount of resistance and heart rate. At a fast pace, 30 minutes of water walking can equal two hours of walking on land!

Lap Swim

A complete schedule of the number of lanes available throughout each day is available at the front desk. Adult swimmers have priority. Members 17 and under are welcome to swim if a lane is available and youth has completed a challenge of 200 yards freestyle, 200 yards backstroke or breast stroke, and a discussion of lap lane rules and etiquette. One or two lap lanes available at most times throughout the day.
