Drop-In Aquacise
Outstanding coed exercise classes using the natural resistance of the water without the stress to the body and joints found in land exercise. You can expect to strengthen and firm many muscle groups. Recommended for swimmers or non-swimmers who feel comfortable in the water. Always consult your physician before starting any exercise program. Participants should be 18 & over, unless approved by the class instructor.

What times are available for open swim (laps) when no classes are given? Thanks!
Open/Lap swimming at Meyers can be found here:
http://apexprd.org/facilities/george-j-meyers-pool/
The lap pool at the Apex is available all open hours except when a class is in session.
Please add a challenging aquacise class in the evening at Meyers Pool. I think it is important to include people who work full-time, on dayshift, the same opportunities for exercise.
They had an evening aquacize at Meyers for many years but dropped them about three years ago and pushed everyone to go to Apex for evening aquacize. I wouldn’t count on them ever adding evening aquacize back at Meyers. They prefer that pool to be for swim lessons and lap swimming. Good luck, though!
I agree Karen. For those of us who actually work fulltime evening classes would be appriciated.
We appreciate your comments regarding an evening Aquacise class at Meyers pool and will look into the possibility of returning the class in the future. Currently Meyers pool is booked solid until 8:00 pm with youth and adult programs. While it is a good problem to have,it does require some difficult decisions to be made and some favorite programs to be moved or taken out of the mix entirely when other alternatives exist.
If you have not tried the evening Aquacise class at Apex I would encourage you to do so. The instructor is upbeat and fun and the class is challenging and fast paced. You will get a great workout!
