The Muskingum Recreation Center offers swimming exercises

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – Even though it’s not summer anymore, that doesn’t mean you can’t swim in a pool.

The Muskingum Recreation Center started up a few swim classes. Aquatic and Sports Manager, Libby Hardwick, says Kids Splash, a 45 minute exercise program for ages eight through twelve are being held weekly. Aqua Fit, a 45 minute rehabilitation and therapy class as well as. Water Fusion, a 45 minute low impact class are happening weekly.

“Due to the variety of needs of the people that are coming into the program and how we want to build the program here we really need to offer a variety of programs to meet all the needs of everybody that come,” said Hardwick.

The winter time is known for arthritis flares, the Recreation Center is helping take those pains away.

“Programs that we’re looking at starting in the winter time is that we’re bringing back arthritis aquatics and we’ve not had it here at the facility so that program alone is strictly towards all ages,” said Hardwick.
