Water Aerobics in Neighborhood Pools?
First of all, a big shout out to the Pool Pals of Virginia Trace for their wonderful philanthropic work!
In case you didn't see Page 1 of Section C in today's SUN, mention was made not only of the terrific acts of kindness performed by the Pool Pals of Virginia Trace, but also that a group of about 60 people do an aerobics class in the Virginia Trace neighborhood pool 5 days a week.
Frankly, I wasn't aware that classes of any type were permitted in the neighborhood pools. It's my understanding that the sports pools serve that function. I know that there is a similar group using the Charlotte pool every morning from 8 to 9:30am and, while I don't believe there are 60 people in that particular group, others who like to use the pool early in the day find it "uncomfortable" to be in the pool with everyone else using arm and leg weights appropriate for pool use, and then holding on to the edge of the pool to do other exercises.
My question, then, is this...can organized groups of people, while not officially a "class", use the neighborhood pools for aerobics workouts? It wouldn't seem so, as the Thursday Recreation Guide lays out pretty specifically what each type of pool is for. Is there an answer to this question anywhere?
