Fitness with a View!

August 14, 2006 - What could be better than an early morning dip in one of Vancouver's stellar ocean-side pools? Not much, you'll soon discover, if you take advantage of the Park Board's professionally led Aqua-Fit classes at Second Beach Pool in Stanley Park.

Take what's left of the beautiful August weather any Monday, Wednesday or Friday morning and get to Second Beach Pool, located on the western side of Stanley Park not far from Ceperley Playground's red fire engine. Aqua Fit classes start at 10:15 am and run until 11:15 am. Parking is readily available weekday mornings and the class is free with a regular pool admission price.

Led by some of the Park Board's best Auqa Fit certified instructors, the class is great for those who are already fit and a wonderful starting point for participants, of any age, to be on the fitness track. The water resistance in Aqua Fit offers extra resistance while being easy on the joints.

But the most spectacular part of the Second Beach Pool Aqua Fit classes has to be location, location, location! The view out over English Bay on a sparkling, pristine morning with ships and sea birds painting the panorama seascape, is something money can't buy adding so much to a sense of well-being.

Hour long Aqua Fit classes at Second Beach Pool are free with admission Monday, Wednesday and Friday through August 25th starting at 10:15 am.
