The Vitality! programs are conducted on the second floor of the Institute for Human Performance. The facilities include:

  • 25-meter, three-lane pool, temperature controlled at 86 degrees, with a floor that can be adjusted between zero (dry) and seven feet in depth. The pool also has a ramp designed for wheelchairs and people with mobility limitations. Together with a wide array of water equipment, the IHP pool is the foundation of Vitality's! excellent water program that can be modified for most any ability level.

The track, which is 14 laps to the mile, is coated with a special surface that reduces stress to the feet and lower body.
