Aquatics Aqua Aerobics Aqua Fit Beginner Swimming skills are not required for this beginner class, which offers a great way to get started in our water exercise program.

Aqua aerobics is a low-impact exercise that strengthens muscles and joints and provides a great cardiovascular workout in the pool.

Aqua Power Intermediate Join our aqua aerobics class for an exhilarating, joint-friendly workout with low, medium, and high-intensity exercises. No swimming is required. We’ll focus on cardiovascular fitness and muscle conditioning with water dumbbells, noodles, and other pool fitness equipment.

Aquatic Programs & Activities Gateway Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) Ages 6 months–6 years Infant Swimming Resource is the safest and most effective provider of survival swimming lessons worldwide, teaching children how to use ISR self-rescue skills and giving them the competence and confidence they need to survive in the water.

Swim Team Prep for Beginners Join our prep class and work on your skills before the season starts! This class is for swimmers who have an understanding of all four strokes but have not been on the Torpedoes swim team in the past. This four-week class meets for 45 minutes twice a week and is taught by our Torpedoes coaches.

Therapeutic Aqua Aerobics If you have arthritis or a bone/joint condition, treat yourself to warm water and relieve aches and pains. No swimming skills are required in this class, which relieves bones of weightbearing stress as you strengthen muscles and joints. Specialized instruction will help you improve movement and flexibility.

Water Walking/Running Swimming is not required! Walk in the lazy river (you’ll find it’s not really so lazy) to improve cardiovascular health, balance, and flexibility. We offer two different types of walking classes: Water Walking, which meets twice a week, and Water Running, which meets once a week. Both classes mix up your workout with lazy river jets for resistance!
