For Y members. Meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 10:00 - 10:45 a.m. No extra fee. Participants are led by trained personnel through a series of specially designed activities, which, with the aid of the water's buoyancy and resistance, can help improve joint flexibility and muscle strength. Please Note: the YMCA's indoor pool is not a therapy pool...We try and maintain a pool temperature that is 85 degrees. This temperature is a happy balance between our Active Older Adult population, and our lap swimmers...

To love others, to be sensitive to the well-being of others, to help others.

To tell the truth, to act in such a way that you are worthy of trust, to have integrity; making sure your choices match your values.

To treat others as you would have them treat you; to value the worth of every person, including yourself.

To do what is right, what you ought to do; to be accountable for your behavior and obligations.

John 17:21 - "My prayer for all of them is that they will be one, just as you and I are one, Father - that just as you are in me and I am in you, so they will be in us, and the world will believe you sent me."
