The Fitness Swim Club provides a vehicle for swimmers to participate in a group swim workout. We generally swim 2,400 to 3,000 yards per workout, mostly freestyle. Some do more, a few do less. Workouts are suitable for master swimmers, triathletes and those who would just like to participate in swim workouts. Please ensure you have medical clearance to participate in vigorous physical activity prior to joining. We welcome new members.

Understanding the principles of Pilates takes a little time and patience because some of the exercises are different from other forms of exercise, but they are fun, interesting and challenging. Pilates can actually become addictive. It teaches proper balance, breathing, focus on your core (your abdomen and back muscles) and movement control. The constant movement from one exercise to another results in developing more strength and stamina. Even your posture is improved. Joint flexibility and mobility increase. Two experienced instructors conduct the mat Pilates classes for us and will modify any of the moves for you, if necessary. The cost is only $8/class and the annual club dues are $20 pp. Please stop by and watch a class. Call Mary.

At the request of the instructors, we are all to wear masks and participate in social distancing. A new 10-week class begins on Thursday, March 17. New students are welcome and asked to call Alice Hutchison for information or to register. Tai chi is an ancient Chinese tradition that involves slow focused movements. Because of the benefits for balance, strength, and improved breathing, it is an exercise especially suitable for seniors.

So, if needed, we will make a table of three or have a player float from table to table. We start promptly at 8:30 AM; come a few minutes early to socialize and partner up. We have coffee, and members often bring goodies to go with it. We also have online games using Trickstercards.com. Please join us. We welcome new players. Partners Tuesday Night Bridge

With just a little luck at the table, you can make money. Seriously. It will cost you and your partner each $1, and you can play the first time without joining the club. The total money is divided at the end of the evening among the high scorers. We play 36 hands of rubber bridge. It will be a fast and fun evening with congenial people, even if you fail to get your money back. Arrive at 5:45 PM to secure your table. Practice Bridge
