Check out their website at http://www.ymcasumter.org/. Water exercise has helped me tremendously through several bouts of colon cancer. The YMCA in Auburn NY had group classes in water aerobics, both in shallow and deep water. A group with a regular schedule helps get you there. Now, with an ostomy, I have no problems exercising in water. Also Sumter County Active Lifestyles, in collaboration with the University of South Carolina, has a program called <a href="http://www.sumtercountyactivelifestyles.org/StepUpStepOut/index.php" rel="nofollow">Step Up, Step Out</a> with lots of information on exercising in your community.
