Aqua Fitness Programs
Shallow Water Aqua Fitness This class is for everyone! A workout designed to challenge the most fit while gentle enough for seniors. Aqua Aerobics was developed to utilize the natural resistance of water to raise your heart rate for a great cardio respiratory workout. Components also include muscular strength, endurance and flexibility training. Due to the buoyancy property of water, exercise in the aquatic environment places minimal stress on the body's joints and muscles.

Aqua Challenge This high intensity, low impact work-out is done entirely in the deep end of the Competition pool in order to alleviate pressure on joints while using the resistance of the water to tone and strengthen muscles. The use of water belts will keep participants fully suspended in the water for the entire workout. Cardio exercises will consist of a variety of movements to increase heart rate and utilize the body’s full range of motion. Specific areas of the body, such as arms, legs and abs, will be targeted to promote muscle tone and build strength. This low impact class makes a great workout for all ages and physical abilities.

Loggerhead Aquatics
Julington Creek Loggerhead Aquatics or “JCLA” will be a USA Swimming member club operating under auspices of USA Swimming and Florida Swimming, Inc. USA Swimming is the national governing body, recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee, as the organization responsible for selecting the USA Olympic Swim Team, which represents the United States in the Olympic Games. Florida Swimming, Inc. is the Local Swimming Committee (LSC) designated by USA Swimming as its local representation. JCLA will operate year round. Meaning, the club will practice and compete on an ongoing basis (with short breaks). The team will have several practice groups (training groups) to accommodate multiple ages and levels of swimmers. Practices will be held at the new JCP Aquatic Center pool. Senior swimmers will practice six days a week, and sometimes twice per day. Age Group swimmers will practice three to six times per week, depending on their training group placement and age. We will attend swim meets in Jacksonville, Northern Florida, and beyond. The swim meets we attend will primarily be invitationals, where swimmers from various club teams will be competing.Younger aged swimmers will attend meets primarily in greater Jacksonville area. Older and more experienced swimmers will attend in town and out of town meets. Meets are always held on the weekends, never during the week (except intra-squad meets).
An important part of any club team is parent support and volunteerism. Parental support will be a cornerstone of our swim club. Without such support, it makes success just a bit more difficult to achieve for the swimmers and coaches. We will need volunteers to serve in many capacities. Organizing such things as, social gatherings, fund raising, team suits and uniforming, running swim meets, and officiating, just to name a few.
Each swimmer must also pay an annual fee of $55 for USA Swimming membership (membership will cover Sept-Dec 2008, and 2009) A discount on team dues is provided for families with multiple swimmers: 10% for the 2nd swimmer in the family; 15% for all additional swimmers (off of annual group dues). Full dues are applied to the swimmer at the highest program level. (at this time, JCLA is only open to residents of Julington Creek)
