Tabaqua is a popular and intensive aqua fitness class at the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool in Alkmaar. With this class, you combine the benefits of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with the advantages of working out in the water. The 20/10 interval principle ensures that you train intensively for four minutes, allowing you to both improve your fitness and burn fat. This type of training is suitable for fit and injury-free participants who want to get just that little bit extra out of their workout.

Challenging and effective lesson

The lesson consists of various exercises that you perform in deep and shallow water. Training equipment and body weight are used, so that you train for strength and fitness. Tabaqua is ideal if you are looking for a challenging and effective class in which you train your whole body.

Burn lots of calories

During the class, an experienced instructor leads the group. This instructor ensures that you perform the exercises correctly, helps you with questions about technique or provides extra support. Due to the high intensity of the workout, you not only burn a lot of calories during the session, but also for the rest of the day.

If you want to take part in a Tabaqua class, it is important that you wear suitable swimwear for an active session in the water. Don't forget to bring a towel and a bottle of water to rehydrate. Would you like to take a challenging class where you train for both strength and fitness? Then Tabaqua at the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool in Alkmaar is definitely for you!

Days and times

This activity takes place on the days and times below. During school holidays we operate an amended schedule for the aquafitness classes. For more information you can visit our page during school holidays with opening hours.

New: Floattabaqua on Thursday

From Thursday 28 May, the Hoornse Vaart swimming pool is launching a new pilot: Floattabaqua. A short, intensive aqua fitness class combining FloatFit and Tobacco come together. During this workout you train on a floating Aquabase and work with tabatas: short, intense intervals where strength, balance and fitness rapidly alternate. Because you are moving on the water, your body constantly has to correct itself. That makes the class extra challenging and effective.

Floattabaqua is suitable for anyone who enjoys a rigorous workout and wants to train in the water in a different way. The class lasts 30 minutes, but make no mistake: in that half-hour your entire body is put to work. The pilot runs for six weeks, right up until the summer holidays. Join in and experience for yourself how tough and fun training on the water can be.

• Dates: Thursday 28th May, Thursday 4th June, Thursday 11th June, Thursday 18th June, Thursday 25th June and Thursday 2nd July
• Time: 19:00 – 19:30
• Log in: via the page FloatFit

Cost of Tabaqua

• Single lesson: € 10.80
• For €72.50 you can attend 8 lessons over a period of 10 weeks
• Tabaqua comes under the unlimited aqua fitness subscription

New scheme for participation in aquafitness classes
We have noticed that there are sometimes participants who join the aquafitness classes without proper payment (for example with the Sports Benefit SubscriptionTo prevent this in the future, we will be using special wristbands for these classes from 1 June.

Do you have a single-session ticket, an unlimited aqua sports membership or an 8-session pass? If so, please check in at reception first. There, your QR code will be scanned using a handheld scanner and you’ll be given a wristband. You should then hand this wristband in to the instructor for the relevant class. This is how we ensure that everyone with a valid ticket can enjoy the classes. Thank you for your understanding!
