ADAPTED AQUATICS

Aqua Aerobics Classes

WATER WALKING Water Walking is a 30 minute Instructor led class that consists of creative walking and resistance training to help increase cardiovascular and muscular strength and flexibility while having fun and meeting new people.  Water Walking routines typically involve walking in water that is waist high or deeper while you swing your arms in the same manner you would during a walk on land.  Web gloves and water buoys will also be used.  The water provides more resistance as compared to air and helps reduce joint pain problems.  The buoyancy in water supports the weight of the body and reduces pressure on joints. Water Walking can be used as a warm up or stretching session before an Aqua Aerobics Class.  It's a safe and effective way to increase your exercise time in the pool. The use of water shoes is recommended.
