Fitness Programs
The Northside Community Pool offers Fitness in the water! One of the best and safest types of exercises available.
Water provides a safe environment for every one of all ages and abilities to do their Stretches and work their Muscles! Working out in water provides a safe environment for the body by minimizing the constraints imposed by gravity! Buoyancy of the water helps take the weight off the body’s joints while allowing ease of movements! The temperature of the water helps with circulation and lowering swelling.

National Lifeguard (40 hr.): The National Lifeguard Service (NLS) course consists of a core course dealing with lifeguarding principles and techniques, together with environment-specific items leading to certification in one of the NLS options – Pool, Waterfront, Surf, or Waterpark. National Lifeguard training builds on the fundamental skills, knowledge and values taught in the lifesaving awards of the Society to develop the practical skills and knowledge required by lifeguards. Recognized as the standard measurement of lifeguard performance in Canada, National Lifeguard education is designed to develop a sound understanding of lifeguarding principles, good judgment and a mature and responsible attitude toward the role of the lifeguard.
The National Lifeguard’s primary role is the prevention of emergency situations and where this fails, the timely and effective resolution of emergencies. The National Lifeguard program is designed to prepare lifeguards to fulfill this role as professional facilitators of safe, enjoyable aquatics.
The National Lifeguard course cannot in theory or practice prepare candidates for every situation which might be encountered by NLS guards working in Canadian aquatic environments and facilities. National Lifeguard training is designed to develop the basic lifeguarding skills, principles and decision-making processes which will assist the lifeguard to evaluate and adapt to different aquatic facilities and emergencies.

Aqua fitness is a class for anyone ages 10 and up, of all abilities! You can work at your own pace and progress at your own rate! Make it fun for the whole family or make it the must do thing to help you rehabilitate that nagging injury!! (Just be sure to check with your doctor first and inform your instructors of any heath concerns) Drop in classes will be $5.00 dollars each or you can get a 10 class punch card for $50.00 or a 20 class punch card for $90.00.
Drop in classes are:
Monday/Wednesday/Thursday evening at 6:30pm-7:30pm
Tuesday Afternoon at 1:15pm-2:15pm
Friday Mornings at 10:30am-11:30am.
We will also be having a pre registered aqua fitness program ($80.00) that will run for 8 weeks with 2 seminars along with your aqua fit classes! These classes will be a bit more goal orientated and the seminars will address healthy eating and living a healthy lifestyle! We hope to see you soon! Northside Community Pool Staff!
