Therapy Pool:
 The 33,000 gallon warm water therapy pool is kept at a body
neutral temperature of at least 90 degrees. The positive
benefits of pain relief and increased mobility when
exercising in warm water are obvious and sometimes
immediate. We offer a variety of classes including the
Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program that include an
additional charge of $20-$25 a month. Open swim times
are also available in the therapy pool for those that do not
wish to have an instructor led class. Webbed gloves,
noodles, flotation belts, kick boards, and water weights are
available for member use. The therapy pool also offers
two handicap accessible self-powered lifts.
