LOW Water Fitness Provided By: Carol Greeney, Instructor The Water Fitness program will be held under the guidelines of Governor Northam and the LOWA Administration with some modifications. Daily Drop-Ins will not be an option and participants will be assigned equipment that will be theirs for the season and will be brought back and forth to class each session. Participants may want to purchase their own equipment and may do so by contacting Carol at rcgreeney@comcast.net.

This program is an energetic one-hour workout beginning with a warm-up followed by stretching, 20-25 minutes of cardio, strengthening exercises with equipment and ending with the Photo by Vassa Olson final stretching. The advantage of water workouts is that one may work at his or her own pace and there is no stress on one’s joints. In addition, one doesn’t sweat! All routines are choreographed to a variety of music-hopefully something for everyone.

Classes will begin on June 14 and end on September 3, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 9 AM and 10 AM. The cost of the mandatory Season Pass is $140.

Registration Forms may be obtained by contacting Vicky Shew at vshew42549@yahoo.com.

Make checks payable to Carol Greeney, with Water Fitness on the memo line and mail to 222 Monument Road.

Forms will also be available on the first day of class. All classes are held at the Clubhouse Pool which allows for proper social distancing.

Youth Swim Lessons Provided By: Swim Club Management Group Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we will only be offering private swim lessons. Children will learn in a positive environment in which they can feel comfortable to best learn basic water safety and swimming skills. Through patience, encouragement, and frequent repetition, your child will have a fun, safe, and rewarding swimming experience. Our Swim Lesson Instructors are trained to teach a wide variety of levels and are well versed in how to instruct guardians on what to do to continue their child on a path of success.

Beginner and advanced classes are offered. Visit our website at www.swimclubvirginia.com, click on “Services” then “Swim Lessons.” Questions?
