Community Exercise

University Of Bristol Swimming Pool, a popular Swimming club in Bristol, is excited to announce an exclusive swimming event for the local community. This event, known as Community Exercise, is designed to cater to the needs of residents who are looking for a supportive and engaging exercise programme.

Community Exercise offers a wide range of guided classes and social sessions that are specially tailored for individuals with health or mobility issues. Our aim is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for participants of all abilities. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned swimmer, there's something for everyone.

One of the highlights of the programme is our dance-based classes, which focus on improving heart health, coordination, and agility. We understand that not everyone may feel comfortable participating in high-energy workouts, so we offer modifications to suit all abilities. For those looking to improve core strength and flexibility, we have mat-based and chair-based classes that are perfect for you.

If you're interested in yoga but find it challenging to get up and down from the floor, we also offer chair-based yoga classes. These sessions promote flexibility, strength, balance, and dexterity. We provide seated variations of standing exercises, ensuring that everyone can reap the benefits of yoga practice.

For those who prefer interval training, we have classes that allow participants to work at their own pace around a circuit of exercise stations. Chair-based options are available, and the exercises alternate between cardio and strength training. To top it off, we conclude the class with mat-based floor work to strengthen your core and stretch your muscles.

If you've already had a gym induction and are confident in using the equipment, we have guided gym sessions where you can work out independently. Our knowledgeable staff will ensure that you know how to use the equipment safely, and you will be given a program card to follow.

For those looking to improve their balance and stability, our Move & Balance classes are perfect for you. These classes draw inspiration from Tai Chi, Pilates, Ballet, and Yoga to enhance your balance skills, strength, stability in motion, endurance, and flexibility. We offer modifications for chair-based exercises, and there are floor exercises focused on restorative relaxation.

If you're interested in a low-impact aerobic workout, our Move & Tone class is just what you need. You'll have the option of using light hand weights, soft balls, and resistance bands to challenge yourself, improve strength, and boost coordination. We focus on slower-paced movements to encourage full range of motion and optimal body alignment. This class also includes floor-based conditioning exercises and stretching for a full-body workout.

If you're specifically looking for a class that targets core strength, stability, postural alignment, and flexibility, look no further than our mat-based class. We incorporate small pieces of equipment like balls and bands, but don't worry, the exercises can be adapted to suit all fitness levels.

Last but not least, our Community Exercise group also has the opportunity to swim exclusively in the University Of Bristol Swimming Pool. You can enjoy the session in both the main pool for those who prefer swimming lengths and the shallow area for those who are less confident. Lifeguards will be on hand for supervision, and a hoist is available for additional support.

So, if you're looking to stay active, meet new people, and embrace a healthier lifestyle, join University Of Bristol Swimming Pool's Community Exercise event. It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a range of classes and swimming sessions catered to your needs. Don't miss out on this incredible chance to improve your well-being whilst having fun!
