Welcome to Our Aquatic Center

Whether you’re new to the pool and want to learn the basics of breath and body position or a fine-tuned athlete looking for technique refinement, the Aquatics Center at the Thibodaux Regional Fitness Center offers members and non-members a variety of programs and services. This beautiful center includes a 25 yard lap pool, group exercise pool, and a warm water therapy pool. Our aquatic area and well-trained instructors/swim coaches offer the perfect platform for many unique classes and programs.

Lap swimming

Regardless of ability level and experience, people of all ages can swim laps. It is important to include low-impact, aerobic exercise in your fitness routine. Lap swimming provides a unique total-body cardiovascular workout.

Outpatient Rehabilitation Water Therapy

Aquatic Therapy is also offered by the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center in Wellness Center. Water resistance, rather than weights, is used to help patients with arthritis, fibromyalgia or chronic pain, and those recovering from joint replacement or following an injury. Aquatic Therapy can make treatment and exercise less painful, and as a result, more successful, leading to improved quality of life.
