Take the opportunity to be outside while burning calories, increasing your cardio fitness and meeting new friends. Water shoes are highly recommended for all three classes.

Hydro Pilates
A safe and effective way to practice Pilates in the aquatic environment. Hydro-Pilates are non-impact, strengthening and stretching movements that require precise breathing and muscle control. The series of exercises initiates all movements from the lower back, hip, and buttocks and flows outward to the extremities. Practicing Pilates in the water develops truck stabilization, helps correct posture, enhances muscle strength and relieves stress. The postures and movements are adaptable for anyone.

Swim Lessons
A New Swim Lesson Format will be introduced for Summer 2011. To better meet the needs of young swimmers, the Morton Grove Park District has created a new swim lesson program. Participants will register for each swim lesson session for a particular time. On the first day of the session, each swimmer will be evaluated and placed in the proper level. Once the participant achieves all the requirements for that level they will advance to the next level.
If you currently participate in the Skokie Park District swim program, the level your child is in will transfer to our program.
Age: Parent/Tot 6 Mos. -4 Yrs
Learn to Swim (LTS) 5 - 14 Yrs.
Registration ends the Thursday before the start of each new session. Detailed information on swim lessons will be listed in our Summer Brochure which comes out Monday, May 2nd.
