The Scott County Family Y has found the fountain of youth! It’s in our Senior Aquatics programs. Water exercise for seniors is an appealing thought for several reasons. Exercise in the water works every muscle in the body, especially the heart, while reducing joint compression and the painful, downward pull of gravity. Many participants who are unable to participate in land exercise classes can comfortably be active in the water. Also, the soothing pressure from the water also helps to reduce swelling of inflamed joints. The Scott County Family Y offers water fitness classes for seniors with all abilities and disabilities. (Link to: Course Catalog) We offer classes that help provide older adults with the health and fitness benefits needed to improve their quality of life. Our classes are fun and motivating and are a great way to not only benefit an individual’s health, but to also socialize and meet new people. So come in and check out what we have to offer you for your individual needs! |
