WITH FORT KNOX AQUATICS Anderson Aquatic Center is open to the public on a year-round basis. The facility features a heated Olympic-size swimming pool with diving board and tube slide. There is also a cardiovascular workout room with treadmills, cross trainers, step machines, nautilus, universal weights, and a private party room that can be reserved for special occasions. Special programs are offered including water aerobics, aquacize, swim lessons and lap swimming. Red Cross certified lifeguards are on duty at all times maintaining a high degree of safety for all pool users.

Sculpting with equipment used for body toning and creating lean muscles. The first aerobic class is free of charge. Passes are available for those who participate in aerobics on a regular basis. Lap swimming at Anderson is available from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. and from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Lap swimming is also available at Gammon Physical Fitness Center’s indoor pool from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM. Lap swimming for active military is free of charge. Swimmers age 11 or younger must be accompanied by someone age 16 or older.

Aquatic exercise is becoming increasingly popular as water has been found to be ideal for muscle toning, is soothing and increases stamina, strength, flexibility and endurance. Water provides a gentle resistance to movement and supports the body while it moves, which makes it safer and more comfortable. It is particularly beneficial for people that have weight or joint problems, or are disabled in some way. Any exercise in water is smoother and more relaxing than land exercise.

Anderson also offers year-round swim lessons. Group and private lessons are planned for each month. Information on swim lessons is posted on Anderson’s web page at www.knoxmwr.com. There is no additional charge for the use of Anderson’s cardiovascular workout equipment. A responsible adult must accompany those age 12 to age 17. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed in the cardiovascular workout room.

Several aerobic classes are available for all fitness levels. Aquacize, held Monday through Friday from, 9:55 AM to 10:55 AM is a high energy, low impact workout for all fitness levels. For more intense workout options there is Aqua Express, Deep Water Aerobics for experienced aquacisers, and Aqua Body
