Overview The Aquatic Center has two state of the art pools; a 75 foot lap pool and a warm water exercise pool. The center offers wide variety of high quality programs. It is managed by Heidi Meyer-Spidell the Aquatic Fitness Director. Read on to learn more about these unique pools and descriptions of the services offered.
Salt Water System Pools
When Pinnacle Health + Fitness opened its pools in 2005, it was one of the first facilities in Wisconsin to offer salt-water pools. Salt-water pools are easier on you skin, swimsuit, and eyes.
How they Work... Common rock salt is added directly to the pool water and dissolved. Salt is the raw material from which chlorine is produced. Salt makes the water conductive so that the electricity can pass through the filtration cell. As the water is pulled through the filtration cell, a low voltage of electricity is applied. The cell is a series of plates with opposite charges. As the water passes between the plates, electrolysis takes place; the cell produces chlorine gas, hydrogen gas, and sodium ions. The direct mixing of these products results in the formation of sodium hypochlorite. The sodium hypochlorite quickly makes hypochlorus acid (HOCI- the quick kill form of chlorine) and produces hypcochlorite ions (OCI-). The hydrogen gas is releases into the atmosphere as it bubbles up into the pool water. The salt is never consumed. When the Chlorine depletes, it becomes salt again and the process is recycled. The salt is not the agent sanitizing the pool, the hypocholrus acid, created in the electrolysis process, is the sanitizing agent.
Lap Pool The 75-foot lap pool is heated to 82 degrees and at least one lane is open for lap swimming seven days a week. Warm Water Exercise Pool The Arthritis Foundation accredited, warm water therapy pool is heated to 88 degrees. The warm water pool is ideal for those recovering from injury as it stimulates circulation. Sufferers from various joint and muscle disorders also enjoy a warm water climate. An extensive list of classes can have you feeling confident that you are getting the best workout possible. Only certified water instructors teach the classes. Check out the class schedule.
