Friday, 15 February 2013 00:00
It may be hard to think about swimming while enduring the February chill, but it’s time to register for both swim and exercise classes at the Nassau County Aquatic Center at Eisenhower Park for the spring. Swim lessons will be offered for all ages and ability levels, though children 4 and under must be accompanied in the water with an adult. Aquatic fitness offerings include Aquajog, Aquaerobics, teen/adult fit swim (ages 13 and over) and Aqua Zumba. Non-aquatic exercise classes include Senior Power, Pilates, Spin-lates (a combination of spinning and pilates), Yoga, and Big Dave’s Boot Camp. In addition, personal training is available: contact David Graziosi at
