Water Aerobics

Sierra Madre Aquatic Center is continuing water aerobics 
into the fall season! The benefits of water exercise include 
low impact, resistance, and cardiovascular training in a 
fun environment. Water Aerobics can be taken by people 
of all ages, and is especially beneficial for those seeking a 
low to no impact workout. Exercising in water also reduces 
overheating from continuous training and since we conduct 
the class in the shallow end you do not need to be a strong 
swimmer. For more information, please call 626-355-5278.

 Dates: September 13 through October 27

 Days: Tuesday & Thursday

 Time: 10:00 am - 11am
