Fun in the water is the spirit of recreational swimming at the Herbst Natatorium. There is an open pool where people may dive off the one meter and the three meter diving boards, play with friends in the water or play water basketball. There are also parents who are introducing their children to the water at the Herbst Natatorium . The Herbst Natatorium is a great place to have a party, whether to celebrate a birthday or just to celebrate. The number of lanes available vary, depending upon other programs taking place.
Swimming is great exercise.
The water provides even pressure against all parts of the body and does not stress the joints. For adult swimmers who might want a more organized work out, the Fog City Masters program provides such a structure.
