The city of Toledo will offer free adult aquatic exercise programs this summer beginning Saturday when city pools open.
The exercise classes, called “Senior Splash” will run through Aug. 5, the city said. The hourlong sessions are open to adults 55 and up. They will be held from 11 a.m. to noon, Tuesdays and Fridays, at Willys Pool, 1375 Hillcrest Ave., and Tuesdays and Thursdays at Roosevelt Pool, 910 Dorr St.
Certified instructors from the YMCA of Greater Toledo will run the program, city spokesman Janet Schroeder said.
Ms. Schroeder said the program will cost $4,500. She could not produce a copy of a contract between the city and the YMCA regarding the program. “That amount will fully cover the costs of four certified instructors, for which the YMCA will bill us,” Ms. Schroeder said.
The other public pools opening Saturday are Navarre, 1001 White St.; Pickford, 3000 Medford Dr.; Wilson, 3253 Otto St.; Jamie Farr, 2140 N. Summit St., and the city’s splash pad at 645 Vance St.
