Yuba-Sutter seniors enjoy water aerobics class

Gauche Aquatic Park senior aquatic instructor Sharon Guillory of Yuba City teaches a senior/adult water aerobics class on Monday at Gauche Aquatic Park in Yuba City. The classes are Mondays and Wednesdays through September.

"Water-based aerobics are the best low-impact exercise for seniors," Guillory said. "A woman came to me a month ago afraid of the water, and now she's very comfortable. Some are swimming completely on their own.

"I absolutely love going there. Those ladies have become my second family," said Guillory, who is also the president of the Feather River Aquatic Club and coaches swimming at Marysville High School. "They also form social groups and become friend outside the class, which is great to see."
