There are only a few spots open for AquaGym on Sunday, June 30, 2013. A second AquaGym opportunity has been scheduled for Saturday, July 6th from 7 to 9 p.m. Imagine the thrill of pulling on a pair of swim fins, a mask and scuba equipment and learning how to breathe and play under water. That’s the whole idea behind AquaGym, a new underwater fitness program for kids 8 years old and up.

Under the care and guidance of a certified scuba instructor, kids learn and enjoy the thrill of games, individual and team challenges designed to provide them with fun, excitement, confidence building and a real sense of accomplishment.

Class sizes are limited to ensure the safety and special attention for each child. Cost is $40 for the 2 hour adventure. No scuba experience is necessary and they provide all the equipment. All you need is a swimsuit and a towel.

Pre-registration is required, register at the Aquatic Center. Check out www.theaquagym.com for more about the program.
