Low to zero impact is easy on bones and joints. Enjoy a 1-hour class set to music. Work at your own pace, no swimming skills required.

Deep Water Aquafit

Often recommended for rehabilitation, it is also used for general fitness and as an accelerated training method for athletes. The natural buoyancy of the water reduces strain on your joints, bones and muscles by as much as 90 percent. Take advantage of this buoyancy while receiving a similar cardiovascular benefit to a traditional workout. Participants may choose to use a floatation belt.

Karataquatics

Karataquatics is a fast paced workout based on techniques used in martial arts training. Done in the shallow end, this class alternates between cardio and resistance training.

Anger Management Course

But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems – problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you’re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion. This 6-week course is meant to help you understand and control anger in order to make better life choices and create positive lasting changes. The course is taught by a mediator and a psychologist. A certificate of completion is available. Dates: Tuesdays, September 23 - October 28 for 6 weeks or November 11 December 16, 2014 for 6 weeks Time: 6:30 pm - 9 pm Fee: $50 For more information or to register for either session, call 780-364-0140 or 780-361-5550.
