Aquatics

Regenerative Media Filter

• The Defender® Regenerative Media Filter achieves the highest quality of water by removing particles down to 1 micron. This is 20 to 30 times finer than our current sand filters.
• Unsurpassed water quality.
• Controls turbidity to levels better than those required for drinking water.
• Lowering our carbon footprint, the combination of water, fuel, and chemical savings is great for the planet and our resources.
• The only system like this offered in the entire Lake County.

UV Disinfection Performance

• Improved air quality resulting from the reduction of Chloramines, which are chlorine by-products that cause skin and eye irritation, as well as respiratory illnesses.

We will be the only fitness center in the area to have this combined system!

Lap Pool
The 25-meter lap pool at Lake Forest Health & Fitness Center is available to members of all ages for aqua classes, lap workouts or a refreshing post-workout swim. A full range of classes and open swim hours mean that you can include lap swimming before or after your workout, or incorporate swimming as part of a cross-training routine. Our multi-purpose lap pool has six lanes with a temperature ranging from 80 to 84 degrees. 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.

Learn about our lap pool reservation system here. Lap lane 5 will be a drop-in lane only. No reservation will be required to utilize lane 5. Members and guests can reserve a swim lane for up to one hour per day.

Warm Water Therapy Pool
Unique among clubs on the North Shore, Lake Forest Health & Fitness Center is proud to offer its members a dedicated warm water therapy pool adjacent to the lap pool. With an average temperature ranging from 90 to 92 degrees, water therapy is ideal for those with arthritis, fibromyalgia or chronic pain, and those recovering from joint replacement. Our therapy pool hosts the largest arthritis class program in Illinois, with classes instructed by Arthritis Foundation-certified instructors. As part of our commitment to providing medical fitness programs to our members, we also offer a range of other warm water exercise programs and open availability.

Aquatic Classes & Programs
Group exercise in the water can be an excellent way to reach your personal fitness goals. High-, moderate- and low-intensity aquatic classes are available. Due to a large number of class participants in our Aqua Aerobics classes, the class will utilize an additional lap lane when they have 10+ class participants and the third lane for 20 or more participants. At least one lap lane will be available during group exercise class times for open swim.
