" Susan is just a greatest host of all.....as always...
Nice meeting the 30/40/50/60 singles bunch too...! " Terry S.

White Water In-Pool Roll Classes
" What a great bunch of instructors. The whole experience was wonderfully tough, fun, and instructive. Right into the water from the get-go. What a work-out. And if you can last more than two hours doing that stuff treat yourself to a bunch of rides down the big blue slide! Heads up to the next group: you might want to consider having nose plugs handy; you'll spend a lot of time upside down! Can't wait till the next session. " Richard
" Great experience, the instructors were very patient and didn't mind doing the same thing over and over until I got it! " Hope J.
