JCC aqua fitness classes more and more popular

Water fitness is popular at the Dwares Jewish Community Center, in Providence. So popular, in fact, that beginning July 22, you will have to sign up to participate in the Monday morning Deep Water Workout. That class, held at 9 a.m., has a limit of 25 participants. Sign-up sheets will be available at the Lower Lobby Welcome Desk beginning at 8:30 a.m. each Monday. The entire pool will now be used for the class; no more lap swimming will be allowed during the class.

According to an email from the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island, “Twenty-five people per lifeguard is the industry standard and takes into account the size of our pool.” Safety is the key factor in this decision.

Other water workout classes are available during the week. And the newsletter promises an additional Monday morning Deep Water workout in the fall.
