Our pools were super quiet last week during our Summer Break, but we were hard at work behind the scenes to give both our pool decks a deep clean:

🚰 We drained, cleaned, and refilled the Center City pool
🖌️ We put a fresh coat of paint on our logo (and took pictures!) and installed more sound panels in our Center City location
🧽 We cleaned the entrance and pressure-washed the deck of our South Philly pool

We missed the sounds of our swimmers, students, and aqua fitness devotees, but we’re thankful for the slow time between swim semesters to get ready for the Fall.

Huge thanks to our dedicated crew, led by Associate Facilities Director and Staff MVP Nicole Cunane, for getting everything ready!

What if we told you there was a place where summer never ends, and family fun happens rain or shine?

Welcome to the Family Zone!

🗓️ Family Swim at Fitness Alive Center City
📍1425 Arch Street, B Level in Philadelphia, PA
➡️ Fridays 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm

[Video description: A black and white video with sinister music and an equally sinister voice-over, with the words “Welcome to The Family Zone” at the top. We open on the Fitness Alive Center City pool deck entrance, then see the pool with families swimming together, followed by a little boy jumping into the pool. Zack, who manages our lifeguards and family programming, explains that we’ve entered Family Swim time at Fitness Alive, at which time the video transforms into color and happy music starts playing. We see families playing games and having a good time together. The video closes with the words: “Join us for Family Swim! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons at Fitness Alive Center City.”]

Let’s get to work…starting tomorrow!

Since it’s Labor Day and we’re a big supporter of workers' rights and downtime, all Fitness Alive pools are closed today. We’ll be back and ready to launch our Fall Swim Session on Tuesday, September 8th.

Fact or myth - swim caps keep your hair dry.

Our Director of Aquatics Dia Weeks explains the true purpose of a swim cap, with help from our friend Desiree.

What swim myth should we look at next???

While she is a speaking, we see Dia demonstrate how to put on a swim cap with our friend and fellow swim fitness expert Desiree Williams, who smiles and models her stylish Fitness Alive swim cap!]
