Our Programs:
Seniors Wellness in Motion (S.W.I.M.)
Seniors Wellness in Motion (S.W.I.M.) is a free community program that supports older adults and individuals with mobility challenges through gentle aquatic exercise and social connection.
For more than 16 years, this volunteer-led program has provided participants with access to low-impact movement in the warm leisure pool, helping improve mobility, strength, balance, and confidence. Beyond the physical benefits, S.W.I.M. creates a welcoming environment where participants can build friendships, reduce isolation, and become part of a supportive community.
The program runs twice weekly and welcomes approximately 20 participants per session. Volunteers play a vital role in every aspect of the program, from welcoming participants and assisting with administration to leading activities and providing refreshments.
Seniors Centre Activity Classes
Healthy Kimberley partners with the Kimberley Seniors Centre to offer affordable fitness and wellness classes specifically designed for older adults.
These classes help participants maintain strength, balance, mobility, and overall health while providing valuable opportunities for social interaction. Programs are welcoming to all fitness levels and focus on helping seniors remain active, independent, and engaged in their community.
Current classes include:
Strength and Mobility
Chair Yoga
Qi Gong
Line Dancing
These popular programs welcome dozens of participants each week and provide a fun and supportive environment for healthy aging.
Library Wellness Workshops
Healthy Kimberley partners with the Kimberley Public Library to offer free educational workshops focused on health, wellness, and healthy aging.
These workshops provide practical information and strategies that participants can apply in their daily lives. Topics have included fall prevention, mindfulness, aging in place, mobility, nutrition, and other health-related subjects presented by local professionals and community experts.
The workshops are designed to be welcoming, interactive, and accessible to community members of all ages.
Civic Centre Active Living Circuit
The Civic Centre Active Living Circuit is a unique community wellness initiative that combines walking with simple strength, balance, and mobility exercises.
Located along the Civic Centre Walking Track, the circuit includes a series of stations that encourage participants to incorporate functional movement into their regular walking routine. Orientation sessions are offered throughout the year to help residents learn how to safely and effectively use the equipment and exercises.
The circuit was inspired by successful mobility enhancement programs and was created to provide an accessible and self-directed option for individuals looking to improve their fitness and mobility.
Yoga in the Park
Yoga in the Park is a family-friendly outdoor summer program that brings people together through movement, mindfulness, and community connection.
Held outdoors in one of Kimberley's beautiful parks, these drop-in classes are open to participants of all ages and abilities. Classes are led by qualified instructors and focus on gentle movement, stretching, balance, and relaxation in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Participants are encouraged to bring their families, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with others while supporting their physical and mental well-being. By-donation healthy snacks are provided through Healthy Kimberley's Food Recovery Depot program.
Through our Active Living programs, Healthy Kimberley is helping residents stay active, connected, and engaged at every stage of life. We believe that movement, social connection, and accessible wellness opportunities are essential to building a healthy and vibrant community.
