Adult Recreational Swim
Designed for individuals who want to enjoy the water on their own terms, the Adult Recreational Swim-on-Your-Own program offers a self-paced, unstructured environment for adults (ages 18+) to utilize the pool for personal health, movement, and relaxation. Unlike structured classes, this program gives you the freedom to create your own aquatic routine in a supportive, low-pressure setting.
Equipment on site for use: pool noodles, pull buoys, kick boards, 26′ swim bar.
There will be a Club Lifeguard on Duty.
Participants can use the time for a variety of vertical or horizontal movement, such as:
Utilizing the water’s natural density to build leg and core strength while burning more calories than on land.
Practicing gentle stretching, hip circles, or arm extensions to improve range of motion and ease stiffness.
Working on personal techniques, such as treading water, floating, or breath control, at a comfortable pace.
Engaging in low-intensity movement to aid in healing after injuries or to supplement high-impact land-based training

The pool at the BGC of Newport County is a standard 25 yard, 5-lane, saltwater pool, and consistently remains heated at a temperature of 82˚ or above. The water depth of the pool goes from 3ft (shallow) to 9ft 6in (deep). For patrons that need assistance in getting into the pool we have a chair lift that is able to lower them into the pool.
There are pool IFDs (Instructional Floatation Devices) like kickboards, Barbells, floatation belts, etc. that are available for use. Pre-registration is no longer required by all swimmers. The pool is operating on a first come first serve basis. Lane sharing is allowed within the pool and will be implemented as the number of swimmers increase. As a curtesy to all patrons, swim blocks are 45min.
