Warm Water Exercise Program Especially for Seniors

Ready to build strength and mobility, reduce arthritis pain, and gain vitality?  Warm water exercise at Kernes Pool is an enjoyable, easy way to gain numerous health benefits.  Water creates natural resistance that supports the weight of the body and reduces impact on joints and muscles, serving as a low-impact way to strengthen muscles and improve endurance. The warmth of the water helps promote better circulation and can be incredibly relaxing, reducing stress and improving mood. Gentle movement in warm water can also reduce intensity of pain, improve range of motion, and generally improve the level of functioning in our everyday life.

At Kernes Pool, your personal instructor will design a program just for you to reach your goals in comforting warm water.  No swimming is needed and we’re with you all the way!  To learn more about Kernes Pool’s programs, watch our new video and click on Start Here.

Welcome Veterans!

Thanks to a generous donation through the Community Foundation for Monterey County, Kernes Pool is able to offer no-cost therapeutic warm water exercise for veterans through 2025. Since 2013, our Veterans and Military Family Program has provided personalized warm water exercise services for veterans of all ages and abilities. Because land-based movement can present challenges for veterans with special needs, adaptive aquatics is an effective, enjoyable alternative. Kernes Pool thanks the Community Foundation for Monterey County for being a bridge between this donor’s generosity and the needs of our veterans. Veterans are invited to enroll here, or contact us at info@kernespool.org for more information.
