Aquatics
Our outdoor Aquatics programs are unsurpassed (unsursplashed?), featuring Aquatics Group Ex classes or Lap Swim throughout the week. In the summer months, members enjoy one of the tallest water slides in the Triangle, diving board, two fully accessible pools, a spacious pool deck with lounge chairs, tables, and snack bar, easy access to bathrooms and locker rooms, and highly trained lifeguards who are notorious sticklers for safety rules.
Scroll down and float through all the ways you can make waves at the J.
recreation pool
A heated five-lane, 25-yard recreational pool with a diving board and accessible zero-entry ramp. This pool is used throughout the year for Group Ex classes like Water Aerobics, Aqua Bootcamp, and Aqua Zumba. During certain parts of the summer days, a separate, wider lane hosts swim lessons for all ages and Lap Swim slots for older teens and adults. It is in our Rec Pool that our Water Dragons Swim Team takes center stage for practices and meets May through July.
FAMILY POOL
With a gently-sloped beach entry and a depth no deeper than three feet, this pool is perfect for families with young kids, who can sit comfortably and splash in inches-high water or wade around to play in all the spray features. As each younger splasher needs their adult nearby, we’ve made lounging by the Family Pool comfortable with an enormous umbrella shade and the closest access to the snack bar, locker rooms, and changing tables.
AQUATICS SCHEDULES:
Adult Aquatics Group Exercise, Clinics, and Lap Swim
Our Group Ex classes include…
Aqua Boot Camp
Aqua Zumba®

Sometimes other Group Ex classes, including Pilates and yoga, happen on the pool deck, but not in any of the pools. Who doesn’t love fresh air to breathe deep and serene sounds of gently splashing water to listen to? Learn more about our Group Ex offerings, including class descriptions, HERE.
