TABATAThis intense interval and circuit training is for a hardcore crowd. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), also called sprint interval training, is a cardio exercise strategy intended to improve performance, burn fat and build lean muscle with short and intense workouts. Usual HIIT sessions may vary from 9 to 20 minutes. The original protocol set a 2:1 ratio for work-to-recovery periods. For example, a runner would alternate 15 to 20 seconds of hard sprinting with 10 seconds of jogging or walking. A HIIT session consists of a warm-up period of exercise, followed by 6 to 10 repetitions of high-intensity exercise, separated by medium-intensity exercise, and ending with a period of cool-down exercise.

Toddler & Youth AquaticsPARENT CHILD AQUATICSPARENT AND TOT (AGES 6 MONTHS – 2 YEARS)Using songs, games and water toys, your child will learn basic water readiness during a unique, aquatic parent-tot bonding experience. Children learn to follow the adults’ lead and look for permission when in the aquatic area. Parents are required to participate in the water with their child.

SUPER TOT (AGES: 2 – 3 YEARS)These advanced parent-child swim lessons concentrate on beginning basic stroke movements. Parents learn how to teach their children to swim. We introduce blowing bubbles and basic kicking and paddling. This is a great class to prepare children for the next step in to our Preschool Aquatics program. Parents are required to participate in the water with their child.

PRESCHOOL AQUATICSOur small group lessons provide your child with the instruction and inspiration needed to be comfortable and confident in the water. They learn to blow bubbles, submerge their face in the water, float while supported, and basic water safety.

PRESCHOOL LEVEL 1 (AGES: 3 – 5 YEARS)Participants are introduced to the aquatic environment and to mastering the most fundamental skills. All skills are performed with instructor and/or floatation assistance.

PRESCHOOL LEVEL 2 (AGES: 3 – 5 YEARS)Participants begin to move through the water on their own and with assistance. Prerequisite: must be comfortable in the water on their front, back and with their face in the water.

PRESCHOOL LEVEL 3 (AGES: 3 – 5 YEARS)Participants continue to work on movement through the water with the goal of moving a short distance on their front and back without assistance or floatation devices.

THE SAMMY NATHAN SCHOLARSHIP FUNDThe Colonie Youth Center, Inc. is honored to provide limited funding for discounted membership and programming at the Rudy A. Ciccotti Family Recreation Center. The Sammy Nathan Scholarship Fund is a charitable gift given in memory of Sammy Nathan. The fund exists to assist financially eligible families with membership and programming.

The fund was established by two Ciccotti members in memory of their great-nephew Sammy. The couple espouse the importance of family, health and wellness. Although their family was denied the joy of seeing Sammy grow up and enjoy the Ciccotti Center with his brother, and now sister, it brings them peace knowing that they are helping other children enjoy swimming, sports, gym games, fitness activities and quality time with their families. Sammy’s family honors his life with this statement. “If a scholarship to the Ciccotti Center can provide a child with a little bit of joy and laughter, it will be true to Sammy’s memory and our love for him.”

To give to the Sammy Nathan Scholarship Fund, visit the Colonie Youth Center website at colonieyouthcenter.org/donations.cfm
