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!
