Aquatics Manager

I have been in and around Aquatics since I was 14 years old! I am dedicated to ensuring the safety of all swimmers while creating a fun and engaging environment for everyone who visits our facility. The sound of water splashing, the sight of swimmers gracefully gliding through the lanes, and the laughter of children learning to swim all bring a smile to my face. The pool is not just a place of work for me; it is my sanctuary, where I can share my love for swimming with others and help them discover the same joy and passion that I feel every time I dive in.

Drop-in Group Aquatics Classes

Drop-in Aqua Aerobics classes are a perfect way to learn a new skill, make friends or improve your fitness. Class times are subject to change.

Make a splash with your loved ones at the Kroc Center's Open Swim! Perfect for families looking to enjoy quality time together. Our pool offers a safe and fun environment for swimmers of all ages. With playful water features, ample space to swim and splash, and dedicated lifeguards ensuring everyone's safety, it's the ideal spot for family fun.

Water Fitness class is an intense, high-energy workout that combines elements of strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and agility drills. This class is designed to challenge participants of all fitness levels while utilizing the unique properties of water for resistance and support.

Exercising in the water is perfect for seniors (and all ages) because it puts less stress on the joints and the buoyancy of the water helps reduce pressure on the joints.

Slow flow aqua yoga combines the principles of yoga with the buoyancy of water, and sound, allowing for gentle movement and relaxation. participants perform yoga poses in the pool, benefiting from the water's support to enhance flexibility and reduce joint strain. The slow flow aspect encourages mindfulness and breath awareness, making it accessible for all levels, including those with limited mobility. This form of yoga promotes both physical and mental well-being, fostering a sense of tranquility and connection.
