A weekly-style water fitness course for women held in the warm therapy pool at Bakkegården senior centre in Bagsværd. The water supports the body, so it suits people who find movement hard on land, including those with joint problems or who are carrying extra weight. Buoyancy and resistance build muscle and stamina, while the warm water (around 34°C) relaxes the muscles and eases a sense of tension.
No swimming skills are needed, as the pool is shallow enough to stand in. The class is kept small, with a maximum of six participants, and is taught by two instructors, Ingrid Christensen and Jonna Gredsted. Music is sometimes part of the session.
