Swimming is for
everybody! But
only a small per-
centage of WAC
members use
Helene Madison Pool on a regular basis.
is got me thinking about ways to get
more members to the pool more oen.
Aer all, the mental and physical health
benefits of swimming are something
everyone should experience.
In response, I've spent much of the
past year working to restructure the
WAC's extensive aquatic offerings. Don't
worry! Your favorite water fitness class
isn't going anywhere. Instead, it's simply
becoming integrated into a more holistic
program that offers an obvious pro-
gression for swimmers of all ages. From
parent-tot classes to underwater video
stroke analysis, the WAC offers so many
ways to use the 6th Floor pool.
Whether you're learning to love
the water or you're already a seasoned
swimmer, take a look at the handy
flowchart on page 19. It should help you
discover how to fine-tune your skills and
introduce you to the next step in your
aquatic journey. If you have any ques-
tions, please don't hesitate to find me at
the pool.
