Aquatics at the MAC
Aquatics Program
The MAC's aquatics program has been ranked as one of the nation's best, with:
25-meter, six-lane indoor lap pool
Second indoor pool for water exercise classes, rehabilitation, children's swimming lessons and play; kept at 85 degrees
25-yard, six-lane outdoor competitive lap pool with a 12-foot depth at one end for lifesaving and other types of classes
Outdoor leisure pool with a zero-depth entry on one side (gradually sloping down like a beach) for kids, recreational use, and swim lessons. This pool is kept at 85 degrees.
Giant 200-foot-long water slide that empties into our outdoor leisure pool.
Both outdoor pools are seasonally enclosed in an air structure so they can be used year-round. For added summertime enjoyment, there are picnic tables, a food service area, sand volleyball courts, playground and a generous sand play area for children adjacent to our outdoor pools.

Water Fitness
Private Aquatics Personal Training

The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints and muscles, making it an ideal choice for individuals with mobility issues, joint pain, or those recovering from injuries. It's also suitable for older adults who may find land-based exercises too taxing on their bodies.
-
Like traditional personal training, water personal training is customized to the individual's needs, goals, and fitness level. Trainers assess their clients and design workouts to help them achieve their desired outcomes, whether it's weight loss, rehabilitation, improved fitness, or overall wellness.
