Aquatics/Swimming LessonsParent/Child Aquatic Classes

Children not yet potty trained must wear a swim diaper.

Flotation Devices:Most types of fotation devices are permitted in the pool area. The only fotation devices that are NOT permitted are the cubes where the block is in the back and there is a belt around the child’s waist. Please remember that any child using a fotation device (regardless of their age) must have an adult or responsible person, 14 years or older, in the water supervising them. If you have a question about a specific fotation device, you may contact Dave Holstein at (614) 436-2743.

The Language of FansAge: 18Y and up • Town HallLadies’ hand fans have been in existence for hundreds of years and they have been made in America from about 1840. The most famous American Fan maker was Hunt Allen and there will be an example of a Hunt Allen fan in the program. All during the Victorian Period every fashionable lady would have carried a fan and soon this little “modish machine” produced a sign language all its own. Invitations were given by it and suitors were sent running in despair by it. Learning the language was a necessary part of a polished lady or gent’s education and a demonstration of the language of fans will be part of the program. Ladybugs and Buckeyes were given a large collection of fans in 2010 and with the help of the curator of the North American Fan Association, all 200 have been photographed and identified. There will be about 18 of the collection brought to the program. The Worthington Historical Society will also have several fans on display from their collection. Following the demonstration and show, decorate a fan of your own to take home. Lemonade and cookies will be served.

Fearless FallingAge: 18Y and up • Community Center Community RoomThe fear of falling is one of our strongest phobias, and injuries from accidental falls have become epidemic, but little has been done to help people actually learn how to fall.

Learning how to fall safely is the primary purpose of the Fearless Falling classes. Based on Tai-Chi kungfu, you will also learn how to move smoothly, avoid falls, improve your balance and awareness, and pick up some basic self-defense skills. Fearless Falling is open to all adults, but you should be physically able to get up from floor level by yourself. Black-belt instructor Mike Grigsby has been teaching kungfu and falling skills for over twenty-five years. #22605 Mon 3:00PM–4:00PM Jul 1–Aug 19 R $40 | NR $52#22606 Mon 4:00PM–5:00PM Jul 1–Aug 19 R $40 | NR $52

Feldenkrais Method®—Awareness Through Movement®Age: 18Y and up • Topping RoomShorter class—try out this method! Feldenkrais lessons may be done standing, sitting or lying down. They explore basic movements in great detail, in a gentle manner that evokes in adults the quick, spontaneous learning of young children. This “reprograms” the brain for better posture and self-image, greater ease and pleasure in movement, and fuller relaxation in rest. Chronic tension, pain, anxiety, disability, and effects of aging are not confronted directly, but are simply left behind in a natural process of learning and improvement. Students are often surprised to find that the smallest and most gentle work produces the most profound changes. This method was developed by the late Israeli physicist Moshe Feldenkrais. Teachers and teacher trainings are certified by the Feldenkrais Guild. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. Instructor: Melinda Murphy#22604 Tue 11:15AM–NOON Aug 27–Sep 17 R $23 | NR $30
