Fall/Winter Programs
Indoor Rowing. Erging is a great way to stay in shape when it's too cold for our on water rowing program. This is a popular, fun and challenging program run by U.S. Adaptive National Team Coach, Karen Lewis. If you attend regularly, you will be in shape!.

exercises you can do. Instruction is provided for non-swimmers through
intermediate levels. If you are a swimmer, you can do laps. Pool has
a lift. Location: St. Joseph's University Fieldhouse. 54th and City
Avenue, Philadelphia, PA. Three six week sessions. One hour each session. Time evenings

Sled Hockey. Our team, The Centerpedes, or "The Bugs" as they are
affectionately known is a very popular program. While a competitive
program, with a traveling team, the Bugs also makes plenty of room
for those new to the sport, or just wanting to give it a try. Coached
and managed by former National Team member Mike Doyle, the Bugs has
no less than three home grown Paralympic Team members on its A squad.

programs in our area.
Indoor Climbing. Scale the wall! This popular program has everything
you need to challenge yourself in ways that many find appealing.

belay for others. All abilities. Monthly through the winter. Call
