 Aqua classes should not be mistaken as “easy”
nor should you think you are not going to get wet.
Water is very suitable for all fitness levels,
young and old. Whether you are
coming back from an injury or are looking for an environment that surrounds you,
literally, with resistance.
No swimming skills are necessary for
shallow class but it is essential that you are able to tread water for deep classes.
Your flotation belt will help you stay upright but is not a life saving device.
Best
time to exercise is in the morning. Your best time is what fits into your
schedule
Aquafit is
performed in the pool so be prepared to get splashed and wet.
