We’re excited to introduce a brand-new water aerobics experience coming Sunday mornings to Inverness this season, and trust us, this isn’t your typical water aerobics class!

A native Washingtonian, lifelong swimmer, former lifeguard, aquatics director, and open-water scuba diver, Michelle brings not only expertise, but energy, passion, and joy to every class.

This is not your traditional water aerobics class — it’s a vibrant, high-energy, low-impact workout designed to strengthen your heart, joints, and muscles. Whether you’re looking for a fun way to stay fit or want to keep your body moving without strain, this class is perfect for all levels.

Welcome to Water Aerobics at IRC!

Whether you’re looking for a fun way to stay active, meet your neighbors, or simply move your body in a low-impact environment—this class is for you.

Why it’s a great fit:

• Gentle on your joints, yet a full-body, heart-pumping workout

• Water resistance builds strength naturally—no heavy weights needed

• Simple, energizing movements set to great music

• Uplifting, refreshing, and surprisingly invigorating!

• Improves balance, posture, muscle tone, cardiovascular health, and mental wellness

• Participants often say they leave feeling stronger, lighter, and more alive

It’s not just about fitness… it’s the community that makes it special.

Think of it like adult summer camp: fun, joyful, and full of camaraderie. We move together, groove together, and grow stronger together. I’ve been leading aquatic fitness classes for over 20 years and love creating a space where everyone feels safe, seen, and supported.
