Fact or myth - swim caps keep your hair dry.

We open on the Fitness Alive Center City pool deck entrance, then see the pool with families swimming together, followed by a little boy jumping into the pool. Zack, who manages our lifeguards and family programming, explains that we’ve entered Family Swim time at Fitness Alive, at which time the video transforms into color and happy music starts playing. We see families playing games and having a good time together. The video closes with the words: “Join us for Family Swim! Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons at Fitness Alive Center City.”]

We have a new member of the Fitness Alive team - meet our new Director of Aquatics, Aaron Green!

As our new Director of Aquatics, Aaron will manage all aspects of our aquatic fitness and swim education programs at our Center City and South Philly pools.

Swimming is a life-long love for Aaron, who began swimming at age five and swam competitively in high school and college. After graduating with his Bachelor’s degree, he discovered a new love - teaching! He taught one-on-one swim lessons for adults and coached college swim teams, and even went on to get a Master’s degree in higher education leadership.

Aaron is most excited about using his passion for swimming and education to take Fitness Alive to the next level and make it the BEST place to swim in Philadelphia.

Join us in giving Aaron a warm welcome when you see him on the pool deck!
