Our Aquatics Center offers three pools and a number of experiences for aquatic enthusiasts to enjoy. Swimming is a low-impact exercise that offers a range of health benefits; it improves cardiovascular health, builds muscular strength and endurance, and enhances flexibility. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced swimmer, incorporating swimming into your fitness routine can have a positive impact on your overall health and well-being.
And don't forget to enjoy the Sauna and Steam Rooms, available in the Aquatics Locker Rooms.

Aquatics Center Guidelines
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all members, the following guidelines are in place:
1. Supervision of Children: Children under the age of 12 must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times while in the aquatics area. Lifeguards are present for safety monitoring but are not a substitute for parental supervision.
2. Proper Attire: Proper swim attire is required in the pool area. This includes swimsuits for all individuals and appropriate swim diapers for infants and toddlers. Street clothes, including cutoffs and t-shirts, are not permitted in the pool.
3. Shower Before Entering: All swimmers are required to take a shower before entering the pool to help maintain water quality and hygiene standards.
4. Respect for Others: Members are expected to be respectful of others in the pool area. Running, diving in shallow areas, and rough play are not allowed. Additionally, members should be mindful of noise levels to ensure a pleasant environment for all.
5. Use of Pool Equipment: Pool equipment, such as kickboards and pull buoys, should be used responsibly and returned to their designated storage areas after use.
6. Health and Safety: Members with open cuts, sores, or contagious conditions are not permitted in the pool. Additionally, food and glass containers are not allowed in the pool area.
7. Compliance with Lifeguard Instructions: Members are expected to comply with any instructions given by lifeguards for the safety of all individuals in the pool area.
8. Emergency Procedures: Members should familiarize themselves with the location of emergency equipment and be aware of the facility's emergency procedures.

Learn-to-Swim Classes
We proudly offer a Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program that allows everyone the opportunity to learn in a safe environment, at their own pace. The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving learners the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, and allowing for more individual attention from instructors with small class sizes, our swim lessons make it easy for members to build confidence in the water.
The preferred method to register for group swim lessons is to login to your online account: walmart.clubautomation.com.
Members will be able to register themselves and dependents for swim lessons, as well as various other programs and classes. The secondary method is to register via the Whole Health & Fitness App. However, only the primary member will be able to register dependents using the app. (Don't worry; this is in the works as a future enhancement.)
