Blue Wave pool offers Aqua classes. Aquacise, or water-based exercise, offers a fun, low-impact way to stay fit and active while being kind to your joints. Ideal for all ages and fitness levels, aquacise helps improve cardiovascular health, muscle tone, flexibility, and balance, all while reducing strain on the body thanks to the natural support and resistance of the water. It’s especially beneficial for those recovering from injury, managing arthritis, or looking for a gentler alternative to land-based workouts. Plus, the social and uplifting atmosphere of group classes makes it a great way to boost both physical health and mental wellbeing. Dive in and enjoy a refreshing route to fitness!
