NEW! DEEP WATER EXERCISE
On Fridays, we are also adding a Deep Water Exercise class from 8:15-9am. See schedule for more information.
WATER WALKING
We understand the importance of water walking for older adults including battling the effect of aging, arthritis and osteoporosis. We are proud to announce that we will now be offering water walking seven days a week. See schedule below for more information.
WHY THESE CHANGES
The Mount Rainier Pool will be offering swim lessons to around 700 participants this summer. This includes morning, evening lesson and weekend class options. We have made the following changes, and opened lap, family/open swims and water walking to find additional public hours for the community. The pool was built in 1975 when the population of Des Moines was much smaller and we are working to balance limited water space for all of our users. We hope the changes meet everyone's needs.
