All equipment needed for these workouts are provided by JCSP.  We do, however, strongly recommend  that you purchase water shoes.  The bottom of the pool has been known to cause sores and blisters on feet, especially after prolonged water time, plus it is easier to find traction while doing water aerobic exercises!  We do not supply water shoes.

As with any form of exercise, it would be wise to talk with a physician before participating!

SWIMMING LESSON FOR JULY 2011

Next week is the second round of swimming lessons at Jackson County Swimming Pool!  There are still openings so sign you children up!  Call us, or stop by!

Lessons start on July 11th, at 1:00 to 2:00, and will end on the 14th. The price per child is $40.00! We will begin with a tour of the facility.  This helps the kids get familiar with it, so they know where they are allowed to go and where not to.  We will also go over the pool saftey rules.  For most kids this is just a refresher, we find it important for every one to be safe while they are having fun in the water!

We separate the children into four different levels, according to their swimming skills.  If you are not sure what level you child should be in, have no fear.  Once we have finished with the tour, and rule reading, we will go though and watch what the child's skills are, we will then decided which level would provide the most benefit to them.  Goggles are a mandatory necessity for lessons, we do have some available for $12.83 each (tax is included), supplies are limited to perhaps find a back up pair!

We do ask that the parents not be present in the pool area while lessons are in session.  We ask this because in years passed we have difficulties keeping the children's attention.  When parents are present they tend to not want to listen to instructors, in turn basically wasting you money and time.  You are, however, welcome to stay in the lobby.

Open swim begins at 2 o'clock, right after lessons.  If you have traveled away from your home town, this will make the trip even more worth it.  Your child will be able to swim for at the most three hours.  It will give them lots of extra time to practice and apply what they have learned in lessons.   

P90X!!!!! ~"Get RIPPED, in just 90 days"

P90X, developed by trainer, Tony Horton.  Is a series of workouts, that focus on "muscle confusion".  With this technique it has shown to accelerate results of weight loss and muscle tone. 

We currently have the DVD set of 12 different workouts.  Each of these workouts focus on different muscle groups on different days.  These workout have been broken down into three different phases.  The first phase is all the fat shredder. This phase will last 30 days.  The next phase is the energy booster, which will also last for 30 days.  The final phase is the endurance maximumizer, and this on lasts....you guessed  it....30 days. 

Along with the workout program, there is also a detailed nutrition plan.  With each  phase there is a different food plan, all of these are based on the amounts of protiens and carbohydrates that are consumed.  For more information and sucess stories visit the P90X website: www.beachbody.com/P90X

You can join in the P90X fun Monday-Friday @ 6:00 P.M. and on Saturdays @ 10:00A.M.

We have three young men coming down EVERY day to do P90X.  They started P90X right after school was out for the summer.  They will be doing P90X all summer long (90 days).  They made this commitment to help them stay in shape and bulk up for the upcoming 2011-2012 football and wrestling seasons.  By the time those two seasons hits you will NOT wanna get in the way of these young men!  The staff here at the pool are super proud and inspired by these gentlemen.  Please come on down and join in and support these guys!  It will pay off trust us!
