Tidewater Community College will partner with Girls Inc. of Southwest Hampton Roads for a summer series titled “Get Wet! Get Fit!” taught by Chuck Thomas, fitness supervisor at the college’s Portsmouth Campus and a certified aquatic fitness instructor.

Students, faculty and staff can take the classes on Thursdays beginning June 12 through July 31 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Girls Inc., located at 5905 Portsmouth Blvd., in Portsmouth. Cost is $24 for eight sessions or $3.50 per session. Transportation is not provided.
