This results in a better level of fitness and a fit body.
Full-body workout
The lessons are taught by specially trained trainers who guide you through the exercises in a safe and responsible way. Whether you are a beginner or have a bit more experience, everyone can take part in this class.

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 button below. Please note: in the webshop the class is still called FloatFit.
Dress code
During FloatFit you move around a lot on and around the AquaBase. That is why we ask participants to wear sports shorts over their bikini or swimsuit. This allows you to move freely and comfortably during the class.
FloatFit cost
A single FloatFit class costs €8.75. Are you planning to take part regularly? Then a 10-class pass might be just the thing for you! Not only does this save you money, but you can also use the pass for Aquakickboxing en Aquajump. For a 10-class pass you pay only €72, which works out at €7.20 per class. The pass is valid for 13 weeks from the date of purchase.
New scheme for participation in Aquakickboxing, Aquajump and FloatFit
We have noticed that there are sometimes participants who join the Aquakickboxing, Aquajump and FloatFit classes without the correct payment (for example with the Sports Benefit SubscriptionTo prevent this in the future, we will be using special wristbands for these classes from now on.
Do you have a single ticket or a 10-trip card? Please report to reception first. Your QR code will be scanned there with a hand scanner and you will receive a wristband. You then hand this wristband in to the instructor of the class in question. This is how we ensure that everyone with a valid ticket can enjoy the classes. Thank you for your understanding!
Please note: At swimming pool Hoornse Vaart, we want to give everyone a fair chance to take part in our FloatFit, Aquakickbox and Aquajump lessons. Unfortunately, we have noticed that people regularly book using a 10-visit pass but fail to show up, which means others are left disappointed. Therefore, we are introducing a new policy: if you book a lesson with your 10-visit pass and do not show up, a lesson will be deducted from your pass at the end of the month. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. See you soon!
