2022 Lawrence (KS) Parks and Recreation Department Fall Activities Guide

AQUATIC FITNESS CLASSES

Are you ready to take the plunge? Ready for the soothing properties of the water? Aqua workouts are for every fitness level and are low to non-impact on joints and muscles. Water fitness has all the components of fitness: cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, muscular and endurance strength. Water has the ability to offer aerobic activity, resistance training and flexibility all at the same time. Working out in the water is perfect for those who find certain movements on land-running, striding, kicking, dancing-too jarring or painful. We have a wide variety of classes, including classes for expecting mothers, seniors, individuals with arthritis, or those recovering from an injury. No swimming skills are required. Whether you are new to water fitness or a water fitness enthusiast, we have the class for you. Registration is required by the Wednesday before the class begins.

Information for evening fitness classes and learn-to-swim classes will be available mid-May. Please check the City website at www.lprd.org/aquatics.
