Classes take place in our heated indoor pools. Exercises approved by the Arthritis Foundation include walking, gentle stretching, flexing, extension and range-of-motion. Exercises are done in an interval format in shallow or deep water and focus on building cardiovascular endurance, activities of daily living, moving a joint through your range of motion and holding it to feel a gentle stretch in the muscle.
