Summer is over and cooler weather greets us – it’s time to put up the bathing suits and swim trunks. Right?
WRONG!
It’s time to hit the pool at Collegiate School Aquatics Center (CSAC) where the water fun continues all year long!
With a variety of programs for kids, teens, adults, and active older adults, there is something for the entire family. Choose from water aerobics, traditional swim lessons, water polo, first aid training, and CPR/Lifeguard training.
If you’re looking for something a bit more aggressive and active, take advantage of the Peluso Open Water Masters training for your next triathlon or learn more about scuba diving.
And if you want to enjoy the water and you also love an active lifestyle on “land”, you’re at the right place. Land aerobics include zumba, line dancing, yoga, cardio burn, and core training. Of course you can always choose from their more active land aerobics classes, or opt for the classes designed for active older adults.
And of course, don’t miss their fantastic birthday parties either – you show up, celebrate, and leave the cleanup to them. They provide everything you need for the perfect birthday party – click here for details.
One of the innovative program offerings at CSAC are their AquaFin Therapy classes. These unique offerings are specifically designed by qualified personnel to aid individuals with acute, transient, chronic disabilities, syndromes or diseases. What a great way to stay active and enjoy therapeutic activities under the oversight of trained professionals.
If you’re still not sure where to start, consider these incredible areas of this state-of-the-art aquatics center:
- A 50m, 8 lane competition pool with movable bulkheads
- A 25 yard, 6 lane multi-purpose pool
- An incredibly relaxing therapy pool with Hydroworks
- A huge multi-purpose community room
- Fitness and exercise rooms
So, pack up your things and head for CSAC. You’ll find the cleanest, most inviting locker rooms you’ve ever seen with lockers, showers, bathing suit dryers, and everything else you need. PLUS, you can enjoy time with friends or family in the relaxing front lobby while you enjoy snacks and drinks in the welcoming common areas.
Warm water pools are totally relaxing.
