Our heated 225,000 gallon Junior Olympic Size swimming pool is a perfect way for people to exercise who
aren't able to workout on land due to physical disabilities or special needs. There is no excessive pressure on
joints and bones. Our pool has a handicap ramp built into the pool, along with an accessible water-wheelchair
that allows you to enter and exit with ease. Swimming just thirty minutes, three times a week, will put you on
your way to a healthier, more productive lifestyle. Swimming is a highly effective, low impact, aerobic workout.
But the best part is... it's FUN! Come join us at the pool to cool off, exercise, or to just have fun!
