Fitness Class Descriptions Deep water Aquafit
Deep-water training provides a unique and challenging environment free from gravity and impact. Classes will incorporate cardiovascular and muscular conditioning exercises. This is a challenging workout for both skilled and unskilled aquatic fitness participants.
Joint Mobility
This class is for those seeking injury rehabilitation, arthritis joint therapy, or those wishing to improve their strength and range of motion. Helps to relieve pain, maintain or increase range of motion, strengthen weak muscles and improve circulation.
Senior “Fun”ctional Fitness
Using a variety of equipment, participate in exercises designed to aid the aging population in improving function and completing their daily living activities. You may choose to swim laps, participate in the class, relax in the hot tub, sauna or steam room, or choose your own activities in the deep end or wave pool.
Shallow/Transitional Aquafit
Shallow water aquafit has the benefit of providing excellent cardio, strength and flexibility training. The option to work at a transitional depth (neck deep with or without a buoyancy belt), provides participants who experience lower body joint issues to participate and improve in all weight bearing activities. Suitable for everyone.
deep water running
This training uses the protection and multi-dimensional resistance of water fitness. Intervals of cardiovascular conditioning through water running will be integrated into flexibility and muscular strengthening sets. We need to stretch the tight muscles and strengthen the weak muscles which water exercise naturally does. Water running allows a high intensity work out without impact.
Why wear shoes?
Aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. They help to prevent accidental slips on the deck and in the pool. They also help protect the feet from infection and the joints from impact. What kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes, they will be happy to assist you!

Children’s Fitness Tax Credit The Children’s Fitness Tax Credit is designed to promote physical fitness among children. The fitness tax credit will allow parents to claim a maximum of $1,000 per year for eligible fees paid for each child who is under the age of 16 at the beginning of the year in which an eligible fitness expense was paid. Eligibility is based on a number of definitions and criteria. In order to qualify, a program must be: • Either a minimum of eight weeks duration with a minimum of one session per week or, five consecutive days in the case of children’s camps. • Supervised and suitable for children. • All of the activities must include a significant amount of physical activity that contributes to cardio-respiratory endurance plus one or more of: muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and/or balance. For further information on eligibility and calculation of tax credits, please refer to the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra.gc.ca/fitness.
Children’s Art Tax Credit Similar to the fitness credit, a tax credit is available for children in a prescribed program of artistic, cultural, recreational or developmental activity. The maximum tax credit is $500, which, if fully utilized, could add up to an additional $75 savings on your taxes. Full eligibility criteria can be found online at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/artscredit
