Move It October!

Aqua Zumba

Leap into spring with Aqua Zumba at Marion Outdoor Pool!

You'll be having so much fun that you don't even realise you're working out...

Aqua zumba is an excellent way to get your dose of physical activity as there is less impact on your joints so you can really let loose. Water creates natural resistance which means every step is more challenging and helps tone your muscles!

*classes will be held in the shallow end of the main pool, so you will be able to stand*

When: 7:30 - 8:15am every Thursday for 10 weeks from 13 October - 15 December

Where: Marion Outdoor Pool

Cost: $7 per session
