On Friday, the Jamestown YMCA will host a Zumba Pool Party from 7-9 p.m.

Katie Pucci-Schaefer, guest Aqua Zumba instructor, will team with Jamestown instructor Alana Moore to offer a dance party in the pool. After the workout, the party continues on land with a limbo contest, door prizes and picnic favorites.

The potential health benefits of Aqua Zumba include decreased working heart rate compared to similar intensity on land, increased heart rate recovery due to the effects of water, increased lung capacity and increased bone density.

Those familiar with land-based Zumba workouts will note the natural resistance of water adds a new level of challenge to their dance moves. The supportive, low-impact environment protects joints and allows participants to safely attempt new moves. Aqua Zumba routines feature dynamic rhythms and easy-to-learn steps that will get participants moving right away.

Space is limited. Registration is due by Thursday. For more information and to register, visit the Jamestown YMCA, 101 E. Fourth St., or visit jamestownymca.org.
