Building Fitness Through Aquatics
Swimming truly is a sport for life. As children, we have a natural affinity for the water, drawn to its beauty, soothing properties, and its potential for pure joy! Whether it’s a trip to the ocean, a lake or a pool, there’s nothing like the exhilaration of kicking, splashing, and jumping around in the water. And as we get older, the therapeutic and fitness benefits of the water continue to draw us in. And for good reason: swimming is one of the most effective non-impact overall body workouts available.At Club One, we take swimming and aquatics seriously, offering everyone from toddlers to teens, recreational swimmers to elite athletes the opportunity to learn or improve upon their water skills. We offer a full complement of year-round aquatics programs in state-of-the-art, heated indoor and outdoor lap pools. Whether it’s swimming lessons for youths or adults, water and physical therapy programs, water fitness classes, scuba lessons, masters swimming, or simply recreation and relaxation, Club One has the clubs, instruction, and programs that fit your aquatics needs.
Experience the healing power of H2O at Club One. If your current fitness program doesn’t yet include a water workout, we encourage you to add it to your routine.

Instruction Programs
Whether you want to learn how to swim, refresh your skills, learn new
swimming strokes, train for a triathlon, or rehabilitate after an
injury, Club One has the instructors and programs to meet your needs.
Our aquatics staff includes some of the most highly trained instructors
in the industry. They bring Red Cross certification and extensive
swimming experience to every program.
Adult Lessons
We encourage adults to sign up for swimming lessons with our expert instructors. If you’re a beginning swimmer, you’re never too old to learn! Coaches are also available to help triathletes, competitive, or lap swimmers improve their form and technique. Club One offers group classes for people with similar abilities, private instruction, and semi-private lessons (two adults to one instructor) with a friend or family member.
Masters Swimming
If you’re looking for a new swimming challenge—you’re training for a triathlon or you want to swim competitively with other athletes—our masters swimming program fits the bill. Designed for serious lap swimmers, this year-round program offers participants a chance to improve stroke technique, speed, endurance, and increase overall fitness. Classes are offered during the week at reserved pool times for those who want to swim under the guidance of a coach. Training is varied from practice to practice. Participants must meet minimum swim standards set forth by the coach.
Our Pools
Our pools are 22–25 yards long, range in size from three to 10 lanes,
and are heated to 82 degrees for your year-round comfort. We have both
deep water pools, suited for lap swimming, and shallow water pools,
ideal for swimming lessons, physical therapy, and lap swimming. Lanes
are available either on a reserved or unreserved basis for your
scheduling convenience, depending on your particular club’s policy. All
pools are open for lap swimming, except during scheduled class times.
Club One provides pool users with kickboards and pull boys to make your
aquatic workout more challenging. For your comfort, we always offer an
unlimited supply of fresh towels.
Some of our outdoor pools feature lush tropical garden settings,
relaxing lounge areas, and sunbathing decks and patios equipped with
lounge chairs for post-swim relaxation. Come work out, then dip into
your favorite book or magazine and soak up the sun. Our indoor pools
offer year-round swimming convenience regardless of weather conditions.
