New programs
Float Fit
Looking for a different type of pool workout? The City’s new Float Fit program is for those who can swim and are ages 15 and up. Similar to stand-up paddleboarding, Float Fit adds a new dimension to a full body workout on an aqua mat. This course provides a variety of training strategies including high intensity interval training (HIIT), yoga, core and body-weight exercises all while balancing on a floating mat.

Adapted aquatics
Adapted aquatics is for swimmers with disabilities. The program is broken down into smaller, more manageable steps to create a positive learning experience. The steps have been created to progress swimmers slowly and at their own rate.

Library
Mississauga’s library locations are an excellent place to find a cozy spot to read the newest novel from your favourite author, catch up on some work or just spend some quiet time. Library customers can participate in a variety of virtual programs for all ages like storytimes, author talks, book clubs, teen social clubs and much more. City libraries also provide new and innovative ways to connect with digital resources and online services available in Mississauga. To see what’s available and what’s happening at your local library, visit mississaugalibrary.ca.

Culture
In addition to the visual art classes currently offered, the City recently introduced a new series of digital art classes. Explore the world through the lens of a digital camera and make a virtual splash with digital paint. Find a class that is right for you based on your age and skill level. Classes are affordable and use free open source software for app and web design, graphic design, animation and more. For more information, visit: mississauga.ca/culture.
