Our heated pool (85-87 degrees daily) is the center of activities such as aqua exercise, swimming lessons, pre-natal classes, Ai Chi (moving meditation in the water), physical therapy, and families just having fun together.

NEW! We now offer personal swim lessons for Pensacola area military students which focus on the water survival portion of API training. They are taught by a former Navy water survival instructor and will expose the students to the same type and intensity of swim training that is to come. Contact us for more details.
