Children will learn the proper way to perform the hurdle step and basic dive techniques by working primarily on getting comfortable with entering the water headfirst at several different levels, culminating with a front dive off the diving board and possibly a back dive. All students must be able to swim in deep water.

Students interested in this class must be able to do a three-step approach followed by a front dive off a one-meter diving board and be able to swim in deep water. This class will concentrate on front and back dives; front and back flips and front 1/2 twist will be introduced.

Did you know there is a community woodshop in Arlington right around the corner at TJ Art Studios? Join us in our basic introduction course on woodworking! In addition to learning fundamental safety guidelines, the course will introduce students to the core machines in our woodshop (band saw, planer, jointer, cut-off saw, drill press, disc and drum sanders and the ever important table saw) as well as a brief instruction on the woodworking project concepts of planning, shaping/cutting lumber and sanding/finishing. You will make a cutting board as you become familiar with the equipment. The course cost covers all the materials for your first projects. Small class size of three or four to ensure individual instruction and time on the machines. Because this course is about teaching students proper tool use and safety practices, it is required to attend all classes. There is a non-refundable $30 supply fee included in the cost of the class.

Introduction to Woodturning: Perfect for students who have little or no woodturning experience, the goal of this class is to introduce, develop, and practice woodturning skills with an emphasis on shop safety. Each week, students will turn a small lathe project designed to develop their wood turning skills and techniques.

Sometimes called a finger joint, sometimes a box joint or even a comb joint. Whatever you call it, it is a fundamental woodworking jointing technique made by cutting a set of complementary, interlocking profiles in two pieces of wood, then fitting and gluing them together. The cross-section of the joint resembles the interlocking of fingers between two hands. In this small class, students will make a simple box using this traditional technique. Working in the woodshop is a dirty process, so, be sure to dress appropriately and wear closed-toe shoes. There is a non-refundable $45 supply fee included in the cost of the class.

This class is for adult swimmers who have successfully completed Adult Intermediate and can swim 50's of front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke. This class will introduce sets, intervals and other cardiovascular training representative of a master's or competitive swim workout routine. In addition, students will refine strokes and be introduced to butterfly and flipturns.

You don't have to be a swimmer to condition your heart and lungs and increase muscle flexibility and tone in this low-impact workout. Great for those with joint pain and arthritis.

Participants must be comfortable in water over their heads. You will use a variety of deep-water exercises to enhance cardiovascular fitness while strengthening and toning muscles. Aqua Fitness belts are provided or you can bring your own.

Students who have mastered the front and back dive will work on front and back flips, twists and more advanced diving. Recommendation from the instructor is required.

Join us outdoors on the lawn (weather permitting) for this single session light-hearted hatha style yoga class. Students are encouraged to look inward, be present, and "go with the flow." Class sequences include centering; warm-ups; standing, balancing, and floor poses; and close with a grounding and relaxing sequence. Pose variations are shared and students are encouraged to do what is best for their own bodies as yoga poses are definitely not "one-size-fits-all." Let's approach yoga, life, and our bodies with fun, compassion, and gratitude. No prior yoga experience is required. People of all ages and fitness levels are welcome in this non-competitive environment! Please bring a yoga mat, water bottle and towel. In case of rain, class will move indoors if we are able.
