The student recreational center provides healthy activities for the slower summer months at Eastern.

With intersession over and the start of the first four-week session, there are not a lot of people on campus and seemingly not a lot to do.

The Student Recreational Center offers summer hours from 6 a.m. until 9 p. m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. until 7 p.m Fridays and 1 p.m. until 7 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Students can work out, play basketball, volleyball or pingpong, or go for a swim.

The Lantz pool located in the southwest corner of the building on the main level is open for free swim Monday through Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m. and Friday from 5 to7 p.m. Open swim on the weekends is from 2 to 5 p.m.

Free aerobics classes will be offered to students and faculty members of the rec center from 4 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Aerobics instruction includes a muscle toning workout from 4 to 5 p.m. all week long and aqua aerobics in the pool Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m.

A step class, which features a single step placed on the ground and concentrates on the lower extremities, is held from 5 to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Students are encouraged to contact the rec center for information on any schedule changes that may occur during the second for week session.

Callie Bradley, a student employee at the rec center, said any member of the rec center can join any class at any time. She said students are invited to try the classes for a day or come regularly.

The rec center has also organized Intramural sports for the summer. The deadline to participate for during the first four week session has expired, but there is still time to join intramurals during second four week session.

Sports in the second four week session include singles tennis, racquetball singles and table tennis singles. The deadline for tennis is July 9, the deadline for racquetball is July 16, and the deadline for table tennis is July 23.
