Fitness Swimming
The fitness swim class is geared to anyone from a novice swimmer to an expert swimmer who wants a cool and refreshing way to exercise. This class will allow you to develop cardiovascular, skeletal and neuromuscular conditioning as you swim. Your instructor will assess your current swimming skills, consider your fitness objectives and help you design a fitness swimming workout that meets your needs and skill level. The class will include the 12-minute Cooper Swim Test as an evaluation and an improvement tool. Each session will have a warm-up, stretching, core strengthening, aerobic conditioning and muscular development set. Techniques will include reading a pace clock, swimming etiquette, and calculating your target heart rate when swimming.
