Aquatics Programs Rank Among Best in United States

Greenville Aquatics and Fitness Center has placed number one in North Carolina and 20th in the United States on a list of the 2009 Top Aquatics Programs, according to the United States Water Fitness Association (USWFA). The facility was also ranked in specific areas: 9th for Recreational Swim Team, 11th for Water Exercise, and 16th in Overall Improvements and Positive Changes in the past year. 

The USWFA compared the Aquatics & Fitness Center against private, public, military, educational, and camp facilities from across the country. Facilities were judged on programs, attendance, marketing materials, photos and overall facility philosophy. The Aquatics & Fitness Center captured attention for its long-running aqua aerobics and arthritis programs, a rejuvenated youth swim club, as well as an overall refocusing of the aquatics program.
“In many ways this should validate the quality of our programs here,” said Mike Godwin, Aquatics Supervisor. “Word of mouth has been great for us, but hopefully this will encourage a wider array of people to come out and try one of our many aquatic programs.” 

The Aquatics & Fitness Center is an exercise/wellness membership facility owned by the City of Greenville and operated by its Recreation & Parks Department. The facility offers: Aerobic Classes (Step, Low Impact, Stretching, Circuit, Pilates, and abs), Wellness programs, Weight Lifting equipment, Cardiovascular equipment including Treadmills, Ellipticals, and Arc-trainers, an Indoor Gymnasium for basketball and walking, an Indoor Pool, Water Aerobics, Arthritis classes, Swim Lessons, Swim Clubs, an Indoor Climbing Wall, a Supervised Kids Play Area, locker rooms, and highly-qualified staff.
