Since we then create two separate pools, each of which typically have multiple activities taking place. With a water temperature of about 82 degrees, this pool is the location for so many activities for people of so many ages.

Swim lessons, water fitness classes, recreational swimming, lap swimming, SCUBA classes, and swim team and synchronized swimming practices are typical daily activities taking place in the pool. Luckily, we always have space for recreational swimming and lap swimming.

A couple other amenities you’ll find on the deck are the sauna and steam room. The sauna is kept between 160 and 180 degrees. The steam room should be hot, moist, and steamy. Enjoy these areas for about 10 minutes in order to avoid the dangers of over heating.

Participants in this level may use support from the instructor.  A Swim Test Verification and Registration Form is not required.

Level 2 marks the beginning of having “locomotion” in the water. Participants build on the basic aquatic skills and water safety skills and concepts learned in Level 1. Children should be 6 years of age and older and have passed Level 1. Participants in this level may enter using minimal support from the instructor, but may not graduate until they can swim independently.   Swim Test Verification and Registration Form is required or a Report Card from the most recent session.

In level 3, the aim is to help participants achieve basic water competency in the pool. Participants learn front crawl and elementary backstroke, and multiple different kicks. Children should be 6 years of age and older and have passed Level 2. Participants in this level must be able to swim independently of any support. Swim Test Verification and Registration Form is required or a Report Card from the most recent session.

If your child needs a parent to be in the pool with them, they will have to enroll in the Parent & Child Aquatics program. A Swim Test Verification and Registration Form is not required.

default March - April Fitness Class Schedule 2023

This year our gym has seen significant improvements through our phased-renovation plan. There was major demolition work done to expand the gym space about 2,000 sq.ft.  And, between August and September of 2022, the gym area had turf installed, a new rubber flooring area installed, and several pieces of equipment replaced.  Please, "pardon our dust" as the gym continues to see physical improvements over the course of the next few months.   

We are very excited to announce that brand new equipment will begin to arrive within the next several weeks/months! This equipement will replace some of our outdated pieces we already have on the floor.  We also will have new pieces arriving that have never been in our gym before, too! 

Our personal trainers can provide you with their undivided attention to push you to get the most out of you work outs. With sessions starting as short as 30 mins, both members and non-members of our facility can experience our great “New Beginnings” program. With rates differentiating depending on membership status, individuals can initiate their personal training experience at any time. Call the AFC for more info! 

How to Get started:

In order to participate in our personal training program, you must first come in and fill out one of our PAR-Q’s and an interest sheet while at our facility. Once you hand it in and it is looked over by one of trainers, you will be notified if a physician’s referral is required.  If deemed necessary, this referral must signed by your physician and returned to our facility in order to participate in the program.  Once the required paperwork in our hands, we will set up an appointment for an Evaluation & Orientation. The Evaluation and Orientation is about an hour long appointment where a trainer will:

1. Perform a comprehensive Fitness Evaluation to determine the member’s current fitness levels and identify specific goals.
2. Guide the member through an Orientation of the facility, highlighting specific aspects of the facility that will help them meet their fitness goals.

After this Evaluation & Orientation has taken place, depending on trainer availability, you will be able to start your personal training experience by setting up your first appointment with one of our certified staff members.  

In our facility, individuals ages 16 and older are allowed to use the gym on their own. With the required paperwork, we do allow youth, ages 13-15, to use the facility while under the supervision of an adult from their family. Please read our Youth Policy Sheet for more information.
