FALL 2022 - Open Swim & Aquatic Fitness Classes

• Members must shower on the deck before entering the pool.
• There are lockers and change room stalls available.
• Masks are encouraged to be worn at all times except when you are physically in the water.
• All swimmers must leave the pool deck prior to the start of any class to ensure that the next class can start on time.

Due to the on-going, province-wide shortage on certified Lifeguards, the Aquaplex Pool's Recreational/Lane Swims will end at 11:45 a.m. until further notice.

Both the Aqua-Step and Gentle-Step will still be available as it is a different lifeguard/instructor scheduled for these classes.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Aqua-Fit and Gentle Fit

Aqua-fit and Gentle Fit are for HSSC members only; weekly sessions require registration and a small fee. Drop-in will not be available. Individuals who are 55+ years old may try a class for free; registration with a staff member is required prior to that start of the class.

Fees for Fall Session #1 - Aqua-Fit and Gentle Fit

(September 6th to October 28th, 2022 -  No classes on September 5th and October 10th.)

• Mondays, $16/member (prorated)
• Tuesdays to Fridays*, $25/member (prorated)

*Deep Water Aqua-Fit classes are offered only on Fridays.

Each weekly Aqua-Fit and Gentle Fit session is approximately 8 weeks in length. The prices are adjusted for shorter sessions that are affected when there is a statutory holiday in effect and the HSSC will be CLOSED.

Aqua-Stairs and Gentle Stairs

Aqua-Stairs and Gentle Stairs classes are open to members and visitors. These classes may be challenging for those with pain in the lower extremities, such as the foot, ankle, knee or hips.

Similar to step aerobics, or a "step class", it involves a variety of exercises where the participant is stepping on and off a small platform. This can be very beneficial for those with arthritis, allowing the individual to adjust the height of the step and intensity of the workout.
