After the water aerobics class concluded on Wednesday, everyone enjoyed plates full of food at the annual spring potluck lunch.

Everyone brought a side dish, which filled an entire table, as hamburgers, cheeseburgers and hot dogs were cooked on the grill for everyone to enjoy.

The picnic tables, lounge chairs and anywhere else someone could grab a seat were full at the pool Wednesday as individuals socialized and caught up on each other's lives.

Sheelagh Knapp started attending water aerobic classes seven years ago at the Pine Island pool. She said she still attends as often as she can every week.

"It makes me feel good," Knapp said smiling.

She said the water aerobic class is good for her health and it has increased her strength.

Over the years, she has formed friendships with the other women who also attend the class, which is held every day Tuesday through Saturday. Knapp said the class is a good environment with a lot of nice people.

"We have gotten to know each other and we look out for each other," she said.

Another long-time attendee is Barbara Stepien. She has participated in the class for the past four seasons while she is here during the winter months.

"It is one big happy family," Stepien said about those who attend the class.
