Aquatics: Pools and Classes
The aquatics area at the Fitness Center at Siskin Hospital has a variety of pools that are specifically designed to meet the many needs associated with fitness.
* The Lap Pool can be used for swimming or walking. It is also used along with the exercise pool for group water classes.
* The Exercise Pool features several levels to allow members of different heights to exercise at the optimal water depth. An underwater treadmill allows you to walk or run with little stress to your joints.
* The large Whirlpool is perfect for loosening up or relaxing after a good workout.
* Fitness Center members have access to the Siskin Hospital Therapeutic Pool during posted warm water hours. This pool's warmer temperature relaxes the body and eases joint pain.
