Heres an example of just a few of the 70 different fitness classes SwimRVA offers:

Aquacise
Aquasice is a form of water aerobics where you do aerobic activity in a pool while using equipment such as foam dumbbells or noodles. Aquasize has little impact due to the buoyancy of the water, which provides the perfect medium for those looking to avoid high-impact activity.

Gentle Aqua
Gentle and social shallow water exercise program designed to help reduce pain and stiffness while increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance. Suitable for every fitness level.

Chair Exercise Class
In this type of physical activity, the individual completes the activity while seated in a wheelchair, desk chair, or any other type of chair. This allows those with mobility or balance issues to exercise and alleviates pressure from the lower body for those who are in pain.

Strength
Designed to build strength and endurance and promote healthy, active aging. Workouts alternate between cardio combinations and strength, balance, or core training. Blast yourself into shape with a total body workout utilizing weight training equipment.

Tai Chi Flow
Designed to improve balance and agility, Tai Chi is a series of movements performed in a slow, focused manner accompanied by deep breathing.
