We've scammed ways of getting tickets this year: one of us gets out of bed 1st, runs to the rec center, gets the 2 passes, comes home and gets slathered up in sunscreen, dons the suit, grabs a towel and back we go together. Or, if we're both up at the same time, go get the tickets then run to the nearest neighborhood pool to spend the half hour, which does not sit well with those friendly neighbors who think their pool is only for people who live in that neighborhood. The unfortunate part is that there aren't enough water aerobic instructors to offer more classes.

There are no 'tickets' needed for the water aerobics class I attend. There is room for any Villager who wants to come. Mostly women attend, but some husbands come regularly as well.
In the 3+ years I have attended, I have never seen anyone turned away because the class is 'full'.
The class is offered at Laurel Manor (sport pool) and given by Delores Rost.
Delores was one of the first certified water aerobics instructors in the country. Her routines truly provide a comprehensive workout. We work with equipment- pool noodles, exercise bands and water dumbbells.
The class info is listed in the Recreational news each week if anyone is interested.
