Earn Cool Rewards While Working Out at the Pool!

Aquatic exercise has many healthy benefits: low impact exercise, total body work out, increased cardiovascular endurance, to name a few. Most think of aquatic exercise as being just swimming laps. While this is an option, there are alternatives for every skill and comfort level. The Swim to Summer 2010 program (5 week long) offers everyone a chance to use water to exercise, whether you are starting from scratch or are an accomplished swimmer. Starting on Monday, March 29th and running through Sunday, May 2nd, YOU can choose your path to fitness.

How to Participate

Step 1: Register online or in-person starting Tuesday, March 23, 2010! Register with a RS lifeguard at the SRSC-CBAC or HPER-Royer Pools. You can sign up for one of two skill level groups

Cream: 10,000 total yards

Crimson: 30,000 total yards

Step 2: Track each workout and record the total distance (in yards) on the tracking log provided to you. For those attempting the weekly challenges, let a lifeguard know when you attempt the challenge. Upon successfully completing the challenge, a lifeguard will place a sticker on your tracking log. You can attempt the challenge as many times as you wish during that week, but you will only be entered into the prize drawing once if successfully completed.

Step 3: Upon completing the Cream or Crimson group in your five-week log, place your log in the Swim to Summer box at SRSC or HPER by Sunday, May 2nd. You will be eligible to win 1 of 2 prize packages valued at over $50 each! Winners of the prize drawing will be notified by e-mail.
