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 you now have to sign up to participate in the Monday morning Deep Water Workout as well as the Water Aerobics classes on Wednesday and Friday, all held at 9 a.m. This assures that you will have a place in these classes. The classes are limited to 25 participants. Sign-up sheets will be available at the Lower Welcome Desk beginning at 8:15 a.m. each Monday. The entire pool will now be used for the classes; no more lap swimming will be allowed at those times.

According to the 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.
