The Horton Street Seniors' Centre has an extensive aquatics program. Members can enjoy recreational and fitness swims in the Aquaplex Pool at no charge.
Aquatic exercise classes are held in the Aquaplex Pool and Wellness Pool for an additional fee.
During recreational swims, members can enjoy lane swimming or float and enjoy the water at their own leisure.
Members can relax and enjoy therapy jets in a seated area or perform their own rehabilitation and exercise programs in the pool. In water, Gentle Fit classes are held daily helping members improve their balance, strength and mobility.
Due to the on-going, province-wide shortage on certified Lifeguards, the Aquaplex Pool's Recreational/Lane Swims will end at 11:45 a.m. until further notice.
Both the Aqua-Step and Gentle-Step will still be available as it is a different lifeguard/instructor scheduled for these classes.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

Aqua-fit and Gentle Fit are for HSSC members only; weekly sessions require registration and a small fee. Drop-in will not be available. Individuals who are 55+ years old may try a class for free; registration with a staff member is required prior to that start of the class.
Fees for Fall Session #1 - Aqua-Fit and Gentle Fit
(September 6th to October 28th, 2022 - No classes on September 5th and October 10th.)
*Deep Water Aqua-Fit classes are offered only on Fridays.
Each weekly Aqua-Fit and Gentle Fit session is approximately 8 weeks in length. The prices are adjusted for shorter sessions that are affected when there is a statutory holiday in effect and the HSSC will be CLOSED.
Aqua-Stairs and Gentle Stairs classes are open to members and visitors. These classes may be challenging for those with pain in the lower extremities, such as the foot, ankle, knee or hips.
Similar to step aerobics, or a "step class", it involves a variety of exercises where the participant is stepping on and off a small platform. This can be very beneficial for those with arthritis, allowing the individual to adjust the height of the step and intensity of the workout.
