Aquatics Connections is a wellness program for Y members who want support to reach healthy living goals through aquatics. Whether you want to jump start your healthy living journey or you need an extra boost to your current routine, this proven program is designed for you. Aquatics Connections is designed to connect members with YMCA Aquatic Coaches to learn ways to improve range of motion, recover from an injury, increase fitness levels, and discover ways to challenge yourself in the water. Through this process, members can meet their wellness goals, make lasting changes and create relationships with YMCA staff members. You will meet one on one with a Wellness Coach for a half hour session in the aquatics area and may schedule up to 6 sessions.
The member schedules a series of coaching sessions over a six-week period. This allows the member to set realistic goals and apply lifestyle modifications. Your Wellness Coach will give you an opportunity to share your health history, talk with you about your goals, likes and dislikes, interests and work with you to create a plan to achieve your goals. The Y is committed to your success, so you can re-enroll in the program as often as you need.
