Kitsap Tennis and Athletic Center is a nonprofit organization located in Bremerton where for more than 50 years it has been the fitness home for Kitsap residents. With access to a heated, indoor saltwater pool, members can enjoy a luxurious 85-degree non-chlorinated pool year-round with swimming, aquatic fitness, water safety, and fun for all ages. The aquatic area also hosts a hot tub and saunas.
The 60,000 square-foot center offers tremendous diversity with four indoor and four outdoor tennis courts, four pickleball and racquetball courts, and a spacious fitness center. “We are the only facility in Kitsap County that offers racquet sports,” said General Manager Katrina Fulkerson. “We are not an overcrowded facility, so a person can enjoy a family-friendly-oriented experience without being rushed through.”
KTAC supports the development of an active, healthy and connected community through fitness, wellness and outreach programs for youth, individuals and family. They also build community through a variety of events and support of local organizations including Stand Up for Kids, local food banks, the Chamber of Commerce, The United Way, Habitat for Humanity, and more. Building community is central to their mission and its members choose KTAC not only for the amazing facilities, but also because they value the community of people it serves.
KTAC offers a packed schedule of land fitness and aquatics fitness classes including year-round swim lessons and both private and group personal training. Their USTA-certified tennis pros offer private and group lessons and both recreational and competitive tennis programs for adults and juniors.
The most valuable feature at KTAC is their community of members. With regular athletic and social events hosted at the center, plus daily classes and court reservations, KTAC members develop bonds with each other and with the facility.
The center offers a variety of Silver Fitness programs including the Silver Sneakers fitness program, which is an insurance benefit included in more than 65 Medicare health plans. Through Silver Sneakers, health plans and group retirement plans provide a gym membership to their insured usually at no additional cost. There are also programs called Silver & Fit and Renew Active.
