Southwest Improvement Council

I love SWIC! It’s in the same building as the Westwood Branch Library. They have some great programs for families and seniors in the area. The offer free lunch to seniors Monday-​Friday at 11:30am. They also have food box distribution Friday mornings from 8am-​12pm for $ 1 donation (the food boxes contain $ 20-​$ 30 worth of food). They also have a free little exercise room right near the gymnasium (some cardio & weightlifting equipment). My favorite service they provide is the FREE ZUMBA CLASSES!!! Classes are Monday-​Friday from 9ish am –10ish am (I add the «ish» part because they usually start anywhere from 9:10 — 9:20 and the class lasts about an hour). Not only are the classes free of charge, they let me bring my kids too (1 year old & 2 year old)! It’s not always easy as a mom to find a fitness class that doesn’t mind if your kids run around the gym while you work out, so this is a nice little perk, and my kids have made some new friends :) I’m so thankful for SWIC and all the valuable services they provide to my community! See you at Zumba!
