Certification Classes

Learn about the many certification classes we offer such as:

Drop-in Waterfit

Drop-in Waterfit is great exercise. Using built-in resistance from the water, it allows you to tone and strengthen your muscles. It also provides a good cardio workout without the added pressure on your joints. It's good for all fitness levels and is flexible enough that you can increase or decrease the intensity as you prefer. Floatation belts are provided for deep water classes.
