The Pool
The
six-lane swimming pool is heated to
83.5F. Three lanes remain open for
lap swimming during our open (all
members and their guests), adult
(members and their guests 18 years
and older), and Senior Citizens
(members and their guests 55 years
and older) swim times. The shallow
end of the pool is 4 feet and
includes stairs and a chair lift,
providing handicapped access. The
pool gradually reaches a depth of 12
feet.
The Whirlpool
With seating for
twelve adults (you must be at least
18 to enter the whirlpool), our
Twirl Jet whirlpool has recently
received a facelift. The lower and
upper body jets and temperature of
103°F will soothe tired or aching
muscles. Please note: some medical
conditions may limit use of the
whirlpool, so please get your
physician’s approval prior to using
it. Common contraindications and
usage rules are listed in the
whirlpool area.
The
Saunas
We have a sauna in
each of our locker rooms. There is
seating for approximately six –
eight adults (you must be at least
18 to enter the saunas), and the
benches have recently received a
facelift. Saunas offer dry heat,
not steam; the rocks should never be
splashed or wet. Please note: some
medical conditions may limit use of
the sauna, so please get your
physician’s approval prior to using
it. Common contraindications and
usage rules are listed in the sauna
areas.
The

The weight room and
cardio room were expanded in 2004 on
our upper level and are now combined
into one large and open fitness
area. Windows overlooking the
balcony offer views of the swimming
pool.
Our weight room is
dominated by a multi-station
Universal weight-training system and
free weights. Other Universal
weight-training equipment is spread
throughout our renovated upstairs
fitness area. Our cardio room
includes five treadmills, four
