Over Labor Day weekend, hundreds of Winter Park area residents turned out to celebrate the opening of the Y’s third – and newest ─ easy access pool.
With the local senior population growing every day, pools are no longer a luxury, but a necessity for people who want to maintain their mobility and independence.
Swimming also helps prevent obesity and gives today’s busy families a great way to connect, de-stress and have fun.
That’s why we’re committed to building more of these pools, which feature a ramp with rails for easy access, a dedicated space for water aerobics and senior fitness classes, climbing ropes and giant water-pouring bucket for kids, and a dedicated hoops area where teens can improve their agility.
“This is a great addition to the community,” said Winter Park Y member Tyler Rothchild. “Not only do we have a lap pool, we now we have another pool where adults can do water aerobics classes and the kids can play. I’m looking forward to all the ways the Y is going to use it.”
