GENERAL INFORMATION
Summer 2011: June 20 - August 31 Building Hours
Happy summer everyone! By now, the weather is warming and we’re all getting excited to spend some time outdoors. Time outside means shorts and t-shirts for many of us, so keep those arms and legs toned for summer in our Cardio Fitness Center. Its lower level location and air conditioning make for a cool workout while you work up a sweat in the summer months. Staying cool in our pool is another way to beat the heat of summer while keeping fit and healthy. Whether you like to swim laps, let your kids play in the water or work out with the Stingrays, summer swim team there’s no better way to keep you cool and avoid the crowds at the public pools. Have we mentioned that our Sportsplex is climate controlled? Need a way to play volleyball or soccer indoors this summer to avoid the glaring sun or occasional rain shower? Never fear, the Sportsplex is air-conditioned and our new turf is ready for action. You can’t help but score by playing at the J!
