Pool training uses water's natural properties to make exercise gentle and effective. Buoyancy takes the weight off your body, so people who are overweight, have joint problems, or simply find gravity hard on land can move with ease. Water resistance builds muscle and stamina, while the pressure of the water supports breathing and strengthens the heart and circulation.
The water is kept at about 34 degrees, which softens muscles, eases cramps and brings a sense of relaxation both physically and mentally. You do not need to be able to swim: the pool is shallow enough to stand in. The class is limited to six participants, making it a good fit for anyone wanting to improve mobility throughout the body.
