Getting away from your computer, TV or phone screen can be hard, especially as a college student. Bowling Green State University (BGSU) offers many recreational activities around campus to help students engage in non-screen-related hobbies and to allow participants to branch out in the community.

Aqua Zumba

Aqua Zumba classes are offered on Tuesdays from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. in the Cooper Pool at the BGSU Student Recreation Center. Zumba is good for your physical and mental well-being, and can positively impact one’s brain function. These are low-impact movement sessions to help reduce stress and boost your mood. All sessions are free for BGSU students, faculty and staff.
