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.
Come join us for a workout at your own pace Cooler temperatures are hard on many older people, or for those with muscular and nerve problems. But, as long as the air temperature is 77 degrees or higher, and it is not too windy, we are still meeting. Come to the pool and join us in our regular one-hour gentle workout designed to use every muscle and to improve balance and stamina. Since exercise is crucial, and it is important to keep moving, most of our exercises can be modified to fit individuals’ physical limitations. You may wear your hat, sunglasses, and shirt for protection from the sun or breeze. We currently have 60 resident members (male and female), and new ones are warmly welcomed. Annual dues are $5, with no additional costs.

Happy holidays. The SCOV Pilates Club offers group mat classes at the AFC Mondays, 3-4 PM, and Thursdays, 1:30-2:30 PM. Each class participant is striving to increase their core strength. Core muscles are the deep abdominal and back muscles that help you stabilize your pelvis and spine. The Pilates exercises are simple, and each class begins with warm-up exercises, stretching and deep breathing. The instructors oversee us at all times. They modify the most strenuous exercises for anyone with limitations. These classes result in benefits that can’t be beat: better balance (fewer falls), more flexibility (joints move again), increased muscle tone (you’re stronger) and more energy and wellbeing. The cost is $8 cash per class, and 2022 annual club dues in January will be $20 pp. Call Mary with any questions.

A new 10-week tai chi class for all students will begin on Thursday, January 6, 10-11:30 AM, AFC/Studio, and will continue through March 10. The classes are led by tai chi masters, Jose Hernandez Rivera and Donna Drazenovich. All first-time students need to call Alice Hutchison for further information. 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.
