Community events

Community events are FUN-tastic!

We've partnered with area businesses to offer fun and interactive aquatic events. Isabella Bank employees and customers benefit from VIP early sign-ups due to our partnership with Learn to Swim classes and the community-favorite Easter egg hunt.

We celebrate Home for the Holidays with our community. As you know, it's always sunny in the SAC, and our water is always 82 degrees. Make sure to check out our Home for the Holidays promotion sponsored by CFX 95.3. Bring your friends and family for a day at the SAC and get in for a discounted rate!

As a proud supporter of the Special Olympics for over 30 years, we open our building and hearts to all participants and families on a yearly basis.

Wellness

We provide relaxation zones, so you can relieve stress. Ten to 20 minutes in the sauna and/or hot tub is a wonderful way to wrap up your workout.

Saunas aid in recovery after intense physical activity, relaxing muscles and soothing aches and pains in both muscles and joints. Saunas can help fight illness and cleanse the skin. Hot tubs decrease anxiety and stress, help with better sleep and ease sore muscles.
