A group gathers in a circle in the pool at the Betty J. Pullum Family YMCA.
May 1, 2025

Summer’s around the corner, and that means it’s time to trade your sneakers for flip-flops and head to the pool! We’re gearing up for another exciting season of water aerobics at the Pullum Y, tentatively starting May 5.

While we can’t wait to jump back in, please note that our locker rooms are currently under construction. We’re aiming to kick off the season on May 5, but that date could shift depending on the progress—so stay tuned for updates!

Whether you’re here for fitness, fun, or just to cool off with a great group of people, this is the perfect way to move your body, boost your mood, and connect with the community.

Fun Pool Facts!

Our pool features a zero-entry ramp, making it super accessible for all ages and abilities.

We’ve got twisty, splashy slides for a little post-workout fun!

Classes take place near the stairs with upbeat music and motivating instructors who’ll have you smiling and sweating in no time.

Why You’ll Love Water Aerobics at the Y:

Let’s Get Social – Boost Your Mood

Group fitness isn’t just about exercise—it’s about connection! Our water aerobics crew is a lively, welcoming bunch. Stay engaged with the community by joining our YMCA360 app and the Navarre YMCA Water Aerobics Facebook Group, where you’ll find daily encouragement, fun updates, and more.

Build Strength & Endurance – Stay Cool Doing It

Water’s natural resistance helps tone muscles, improve flexibility, and increase cardio endurance—all while keeping you cool. Classes feature a variety of movements, from cardio to strength training, using noodles, water weights, and kickboards (yes, really!).

Low Impact, High Reward

Pool workouts reduce joint stress by up to 90%, making this an excellent option for all fitness levels, including those recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions.

Burn Calories the Fun Way

On average, participants burn up to 400 calories per hour in water aerobics. And with fun music, great company, and dynamic routines, it won’t even feel like a workout!

Beginner Friendly & Confidence Building

You don’t have to be a fitness pro to get started. Water offers natural support and balance, helping you feel secure while trying new moves. Plus, with most of your body underwater, no one’s worried about how you look—just how much fun you're having!

What to expect:

  • Fun, welcoming instructors
  • Sing-along playlists and good vibes
  • A great group of regulars and new friends
  • A relaxing cooldown at the end of every class

Before you jump in:

  • Bring a towel and a water bottle
  • Wear a swimsuit with a cover-up and shoes when walking through the facility
  • Stay tuned for updates on the official opening date
  • Follow our Facebook group & download the YMCA360 app

We can’t wait to make waves with you this season. Keep an eye out for updates on construction, and as always—thanks for being part of our YMCA family. Stay splashy, and we’ll see you in the pool soon!
