July - Summer Splash

This month we celebrate getting wet and cooling off with loads of action happening in the aquatics area. Check out our Member Clinics and Registered Programs with aquatics in mind. Embrace summer fun with swimming, outdoor yoga, a cycling relay and more!

the race to the Olympics is ON!

In the spirit of the Olympics, swim to Beijing! From July 2 - July 31, all lap swimmers have the opportunity to record the distance of their workouts to get from Vancouver to Beijing. All participants will receive a Health + Fitness towel to aid in their journey. But the first 2 males and 2 females to reach Beijing will receive lavish gift baskets (valued at $350 each) filled with aquatic goodies and gift certificates from LifeSpa, Hart House Restaurant, Copper Chimney Restaurant, and Hotel Le Soliel.

NEW! The Total Immersion (TI) Swim Program

YWCA Health + Fitness Centre is proud to bring Total Immersion to our Intro to Masters Swim Program. Refresh your swimming with the TI approach. After only a few hours of instruction, you can learn the fundamentals of a smooth and easy stroke for fitness and fun. If swimming faster for a pool, open water or triathlon race is your goal, you will be amazed at how the TI approach gives you more speed with less effort than before.

Celebrating 50 years of member success

Enid & Sally have been coming to fitness classes at the YWCA for almost 50 years. They attribute good health today to their lifelong dedication to fitness. "We kept exercising through the years, no matter what happened. You have to be responsible for your own health...you have to work at it."
