Quick Thinking Saves Aqua Fit Class

Our Group Fitness Instructor Mary Aitken proved this week that the most successful people in life sometimes know when and how to improvise.

Our aquatics staff discovered a chemical imbalance in the lap pool shortly before Mary’s weekly Wednesday Aqua Fit class was scheduled to start. With no time to get the word out to participants about the potential class cancellation, Mary simply modified her Aqua Fit routine on the fly to adapt it to the adjacent activity pool and put on a very fun and effective workout for her class.

One of her participants commented in a Facebook post:

“Folks I have to brag on the ‘bestest’ water aerobics instructor ever!…We actually had one of the best workouts ever in the kids pool.”

Thank you Mary for your quick thinking and adaptability!
