up. These 90 minute classes are great for kids with some

are comfortable in deep water, motivated to learn the sport
of diving, and who would otherwise feel uncomfortable in a
lesson class with little kids. All SPRINGS participants must
pay a $15.00 fee per session. To complete your registration,

Swim Training

SwiMontgomery

Montgomery Stroke and Turn Clinic

The Montgomery Stroke and Turn Clinic has served the
Montgomery County swimming community for over 22 years.
MSTC is designed for swimmers 5-19 years old who wish
to improve their ability to swim the four competitive strokes,
learn correct starts and turns, gain strength, and have fun.
This is not a training program. Rather coaches will work on
proper stroke mechanics and techniques with swimmers to
better prepare them for the upcoming summer season.

Ages 6-12: A developmental program for kids who have

an interest in competitive swimming and want to build
a foundation of related skills. The group times are 7:007:45pm or 7:45-8:30pm. Instructors will evaluate the
swimmers on the first night and place in proper groups.

Adapted Aquatics
MCR-Aquatics is now offering both learn-to-swim and water exercise programs for those with special needs. These courses
will be offered in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Our classes are geared for swimmers that need 1 on 1 support because of any
one or combination of the following: physical assistance, behavioral, sensory, cognitive, expressive or receptive language needs.
Instructors will lead participants through a range of water experiences that encourage independence in the water, socializing
and specific swimming or exercise skills and routines. To ensure success in these programs, we do need families/caregivers to
commit their assistance. It is important you arrive and report to your instructor on time and ready to enter the water. On the first
day of class, please check in at the front desk and complete the information sheet on the participant. Then head through the
locker rooms. There is generally only one Special Needs changing room, so be prepared to wait. Report on deck and find the
gathering location for the Adapted Aquatics. PARENT/CAREGIVER MUST ENTER THE WATER AND PARTICIPATE IN THE CLASS.

Ages 18 & Up: There's nothing not to love about the

prepare real, traditional Maryland food; from the Chesapeake
Bay to the far western reaches of the state. This class will
show why eating local is a great idea, and how we benefit
of having one of the best seafood sources in the world right
at our front (or back, as the case may be) door. This class
features take home recipes as well as plenty to eat! So
bring an appetite and join us. A food fee of $25 is due to the
instructor at class time.

Countywide Programs 240.777.6870

Ages 18 & Up: During our adult years, our bones are
in a continual cycle of breaking down and rebuilding.
Excessive bone loss can be attributed to hormonal changes,
both natural and from medications (e.g. cancer-fighting
medications), smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and
certain medical conditions. This is called osteopenia or
osteoporosis depending upon the severity of loss. The
stronger our bones are, the less likely we will experience
fractures in a traumatic incident. In conjunction with
other types of interventions, bone loss can be slowed and
sometimes reversed with exercise. This workshop will
discuss concepts for developing an appropriate and safe
exercise program to improve bone density and prevent
further bone loss.

Your Pelvic Floor-Keeping it Healthy

Ages 18 & Up: When you cough, exercise, or laugh, is your

bladder in distress? Do you feel you always need to use
the bathroom? These are signs of pelvic floor weakness.
Your pelvic floor needs strength just like your other muscles
to function. Led by a physical therapist with pelvic floor
rehabilitation experience, this class addresses the common
pelvic floor problems many people experience. Exercises to
improve the strength and function of the pelvic floor will be
taught. These exercises will include alternatives to Kegels.

Introduction to Mindfulness
Meditation

Ages 18 & Up: Cultivate greater awareness of the unity of

mind and body. The practice works by helping students to
achieve a better understanding of what is happening right
now- whether positive, negative or neutral-not what they
want to happen or what they think should be happening.
Mindfulness meditation helps practitioners stop worrying
about forces not under their control. Indeed, we learn that
the idea of control is an illusion. We will use mindfulness
techniques including full body scan, seated meditation,
walking meditation and even eating meditation to give
students an introduction to the possibilities inherent in these
techniques. For more information contact Jerry at 301-5408091 or email at [email protected]

Using Mindfulness to
NEW

Increase Happiness

Ages 18 & Up: For most of us, happiness is dependent on

outside conditions. We suffer from the "if only" disease
and never have enough to be satisfied. Possessions, jobs
or relationships - we're always looking for the next big
thing that will finally make us happy. Eventually we realize
that approach doesn't work. Mindfulness meditation gives
us tools to create a lasting happiness that doesn't rely
on others. We'll explore how clinging to our attitudes and
possessions create dissatisfaction, and how loving kindness,
generosity and gratitude can help change your outlook on
life. For more information contact Jerry at 301-540-8091 or

Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt II loved thoroughbred race
horses and when he turned 21 years old, his mother gave
him Sagamore, a magnificent horse training and breeding
farm in a beautiful valley north of Baltimore City. There
was a concern that the area would be developed which
would mean one acre lots were coming next, and home
builders would follow. In a bold and unique move, local
residents came up with a plan to save the valley. It was
successful enough so that when Kevin Plank came along,
his idea picked up where Vanderbilt left off. Plank is
the owner of Under Armour, and his commitment to
breed and train a race horse that will win the Triple
Crown began with saving Sagamore. We will walk this
magnificent farm, meet the trainers and see the horses
in an idyllic setting. Lunch, included, at nearby Friendly
Farm is a huge treat you will enjoy.

Our ever popular sailing trip out of Annapolis is a great

way to spend a relaxing day! Enjoy 4 hours under sail on

Intermediate Tennis

We'll begin to focus on the strategies and shots that

will help you play winning tennis. We ll continue to
work on stroke development, and learn specialty shots
like lobs, drop shots, slices, topspins, cross-court and
down-the-line shots, and both kick and at serves.
You'll also learn when and where to use each stroke,
how to play strategic tennis (how to plan your shots,
construct points, siz e up your opponent and play to his/
her weaknesses), and work on consistency from both
the baseline and net.
