Lynne Scott, certified Aqua Zumba instructor, puts class members through a workout session at the Ada Pool on Saturday.
Despite her arm in a sling, Lynne goes through the phases of the workout on dry land while about a dozen people follow suit in the water.
This year, she is holding classes twice a week from 7:10-7:50 p.m. on Wednesdays and 12:10-12:50 p.m. on Saturdays.
Sessions of the fast-paced exercise routine continue from now until the pool closes in late August. Those under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult.

Beyond typical summer jobs, internships can prove to be an especially profitable way for college students to invest time in their futures.
“Internships offer a great way for students to discover whether their intended professional field is the career path they really wish to explore,” said Matt Lambdin, Ed.D., director of experiential learning in Ohio Northern's business college
“These opportunities put students in the workplace, and they get a real feel for what they do after graduation. They can make sure this is what they want to do on a daily basis after they graduate and, if so, determine what skills they need to develop in moving forward.”
Proposals to raise the minimum wage to as high as $15 may have a chilling effect, especially for those who are beginning their careers and students seeking part-time jobs, according to David McClough, associate professor of economics at Ohio Northern.
“As a higher wage is imposed, business owners in areas such as fast food and retail will assess their ability to hire workers. Firms will have to determine whether the benefit of an employee justifies the cost. Service businesses may determine to hire fewer workers and rely more on automation,” said McClough.
