How do I sign up for Aquatic Personal Training or Aquatic Rehabilitation?
The front desk and fitness desk have registration forms and can assist you with what package you would like to purchase. Please specify you would like AQUATIC training. Once you have paid and are in the system, you will be contacted by the trainer to arrange a convenient time to begin your sessions.
Do I have to rinse off prior to swimming?
Yes! This rule goes beyond the sanitation and safety of our pool and its equipment. It’s better for you. Rinsing first, allows you to saturate yourself with water, which helps you absorb less of the pool water into your skin and hair.
Is your pool treated with salt or chlorine?
Our pool goes through multiple layers of redundancy in its sanitation process. We use a salt feeding system, chlorine at low and controlled doses, as well as a hydroxyl-based oxidation system (for air and water) known as Clear Comfort. Our state-of-the-art equipment provides us with confidence, and provides you with constantly clean and safely treated waters.
