Aquatic Programs
AQUATIC PROGRAMS AT BHRC
Lessons, Classes and Swim Teams for All Ages and All Seasons.
Aquatic Classes
Dive right into our aquatic classes and build cardiovascular fitness and strength. Just like swimming, our water aerobics classes are easy on your joints, yet challenging enough to help you reach new levels of fitness. Because of their low-impact format, water aerobics classes are suitable for every age and fitness level, from beginning exercisers through elite athletes. Participants may bring and use their own water shoes and gloves.
BHRC Aquatic Classes:
ARTHRITIS/FIBRO (Low-Impact) – Aquatic exercise focusing on posture, strength, endurance, balance, range of motion, and flexibility.
PUMP H20 (Intermediate and Advanced) – Fast-paced, “fat-burning” program using resistance for over-all conditioning. This program uses vertical positioning aqua jogging, along with aerobics and includes specific exercises for strengthening back and abdominal muscles.
AQUA FIT (High-Intensity) – Fast-paced “complete” workout with total body conditioning. A great way to energize your day!
WATER GYM (Intermediate and Advanced) – A vigorous, deep-water cardiovascular and aerobic exercise with emphasis on range of motion, strength, endurance and balance.
SWIM TEAMS AT BHRC
BEARACUDA Swim Team (After School)
Swim Club seeks to provide a healthy, fun, and encouraging swim environment that trains and teaches swimmers ages 6-18. We foster good health, character, and sportsmanship, along with helping swimmers reach their fullest potential in and out of the water.
Swimming is an essential lifesaving skill, plus an excellent form of exercise. Swim Club helps kids become more active by getting in the water, swimming laps, and playing games. We also educate kids about swimming nutrition and the benefits of keeping our bodies healthy.
BEARACUDA Swim Team (Summer)
The Bearacuda Swim Team for kids ages 5-18 years runs from the beginning of June through the end of July. The Bearacuda Swim Team competes in the Blue Ridge Swim League against local clubs in the Asheville/Hendersonville/Waynesville area. This program creates an opportunity for kids to participate in swim meets throughout the summer. The program provides a healthy, fun, and encouraging swim environment with an emphasis on training and teaching all levels of swimmers proper stroke technique, streamlining, and balance in the water. Fostering good health, character, and sportsmanship, along with helping swimmers reach their fullest potential in and out of the water, are some of the goals this team strives to reach, along with teaching kids a love of swimming.
Swim Lessons (Summer)
Group Swim lessons take place in the summer. Sessions will take place Monday-Thursday each week, for 6 weeks, starting June 2021. Each session includes four lessons that last 40 minutes each. Students may register for as many weeks as they would like. Three sessions of swim levels will be offered each day to accommodate the Red Cross program ‘Learn to Swim.’ Two sessions of the Guardian/Baby class will be offered throughout the summer.
Private Swim Lessons (Year-Round)
BHRC offers one-on-one private swim lessons, along with one-on-two semi-private swim lessons throughout the year. Our lessons give swimmers an opportunity to learn at their own pace during the time of day that is convenient for them. Private swim lessons are for any age and level of swimmer. Our instructors work hard to help our swimmers reach their individual swimming goals.
