Ballston Spa: Adult Sports and Fitness Opportunities in the Schools

 

The Ballston Spa Community Education Program is currently offering adult sports from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. with Co-ed Indoor Soccer and Co-ed Volleyball classes held on Mondays, and Men’s Basketball on Wednesdays. A 10-week session begins the week of January 5^th and requires a $30 fee for school district residents.

The popular Walk About program provides a safe, indoor walking course for those interested in a low-impact fitness activity. The program continues through April when school is in session. A $15 registration fee is required for this program, and nonresidents are charged $18 to participate. Walkers may join the program at any time throughout the session.

 

Preregistration is required, and fees are due at the beginning of each course. Those interested may register for courses by mail or in person at the district office, 70 Malta Ave. Additional information regarding any of the courses offered is available online at www.bscsd.org or by calling 884-7195, ext. 1329.

 

Also, the Ballston Spa Aquatics Program is currently offering opportunities for public use of the pool during adult lap-swimming sessions from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, and on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A family/open swim is offered on Saturday afternoons from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Additional opportunities are offered throughout the year, including adult Aqua Cardio classes and a Learn-To-Swim program.

 

The Community Swim Program is open to district students, families and community members.  District residents need to show identification and pay a $1 entrance fee to use the pool. Nonresidents are admitted as space allows for a $2 fee. The pool is closed during school vacations, emergency cancellations (i.e., snow days or early dismissals) and when school activities necessitate closure.

 

Information is available online at www.bscsd.org, by clicking on the Aquatics/Pool button on the left side of the homepage. For more information, contact the pool office directly at 884-7150, ext. 2324.
