conjunction with the Family Life
Center Open House. The pool will be a
great way to swim and exercise all year-

days a week for all fitness levels and
swim lessons are offered for residents
of all ages. Do join us at the open
house so you can meet the instructors

giveaways for the first 300 people
If it is much too cold to get out and
about, the Euless Library now offers a
variety of digital solutions that you can

Indoor Pool Grand Opening
January 4, 9 a.m. - noon
EFLAP, 300 W. Midway Dr.
Please join us for the grand opening of the latest
addition to the Euless Family Life Center. The indoor
pool, which is accessible by senior members onlyfrom
both the Senior Center and the Fitness Center, will
feature three 21 meter lap lanes, a fifteen foot long
Resistance River and a slide. In order to provide good air
quality, large translucent doors are located around the
perimeter of the facility. These doors open when needed
to provide natural ventilation and allow fresh air to flow
through so that the strong chlorine smell is diminished.
The unique design allows the heat and humidity to
escape, yet keep the environment at a comfortable
temperature. In addition, semi-translucent roof panels
provide light. These features help to reduce energy
consumption.
American Red Cross certified lifeguards and instructors
will teach a variety of lessons year-round. Water aerobics
ranging from arthritic aerobics, to cardio aerobics, to
yoga and Pilates, will be taught six days a week. Water
safety instructors will offer swim lessons to adults,
preschoolers and toddlers. Drill team classes will be
offered to help residents prepare to participate in a swim
team. There will also be time for open swim and lap
times throughout the week. The indoor pool is also
available for parties and rentals. For more information,
please call 817-685-1681.
