What are the different Aquatics Programs?
Aqua Aerobics
Enjoy the healthful benefits of Aquacise! You do not need to know how to swim to enjoy these classes. These classes are taught by certified instructors, benefit the participant's cardiovascular system and provide an overall feeling of well-being. Water adds resistance to the exercise routine while buoyancy makes the work seem effortless.
Family Swim
Open and lap swimming. All ages and abilities are welcome.
Children's Learn to Swim
We offer swim lessons for children ages 3 and up. Level and class time are set by the instructor and parent/guardian at the time of registration. Parents are not permitted to stay during lessons, however, there is a Parent's Day for each session. Classes are taught by Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructors and all participants will receive a certificate to show their achievements.
South Bend Swim Club
The South Bend Swim Club, a collaboration with the South Bend Venues Parks & Arts, invites you to become a member of the team. The swim club is open to anyone age 6 and older who meets the minimum swimming requirements. There are evening practices for all groups when school is in session. Practices are held primarily at Riley High School with occasional practices at other facilities. Head Coach is John VanDriessche with other coaches from the South Bend School Corporation. For any questions, call Coach VanDriessche at (574) 276-6057. Visit the website here.
