Residents
of THE
HEIGHTS enjoy
swimming all year-round in the dramatic,
state-of the-art Marjorie B. Doty Aquatic Center. Completed in 2008,
the center's bold architecture is both beautiful and functional. The
pool's warm waters are easily accessible
with graduated steps and hand rails.
Residents can take advantage open swim and scheduled classes provided
by licensed swim instructors. The
Aquatic Center fully embraces the concept of aquatic therapy for older
adults:
Aquacise Class
-- No swimming skills required. Emphasizes stretching, toning and
cardio exercise. This class will improve your energy and fitness levels
with no impact on your joints.
Arthritis Class
-- A series of gentle exercises in the warm water. Participants gain
increased range of motion in stiff, sore joints while finding relief
from pain.
Water Walking Class
-- Gentle on the joints while helping you get in shape. No swimming
skills required. Thirty minutes of water walking is equivalent to two
hours
of land walking.
Open Swim/Free
Swim/Lap Swim --
Float, swim, exercise or walk in the soothing water. Designated lanes
for swimming.
