Four Reasons to Try Aquafit

1. Made to measure fitness. Your instructor will offer plenty of modifications to increase or decrease the difficulty of the moves.
2. You've never felt better in your bathing suit. Unlike traditional group classes such as aerobics or dance, aquafit is non-competitive.
3. The options are endless. As more and more people discover the benefits of working out in water, an ever increasing variety of classes are available.
4. Stay balanced. Aquafit helps you balance out muscle groups that may have become uneven through repetitive actions.

Who can do it?

Virtually anybody: young or old, fit or less-fit, referred by medical professionals, pre and post-natal, with a disability, or an athlete or sports person as part of a training program. Check that you attend a session suitable to meet your needs, and discuss your situation with the instructor.

Do I have to be able to swim?
No! Non-swimmers can exercise in a depth in which they feel comfortable, close to the poolside or rail, or wearing buoyancy aids. You do not have to put your face in the water. You can bring a friend along to exercise with you. Your teacher will be sympathetic, but it is important that you tell them that you are a non-swimmer. Aquafit is an enjoyable way to gain water confidence. Many people decide to learn how to swim after joining an Aquafit class.

I have a medical problem that keeps me from exercising - can I do Aquafit?
Yes, providing you have permission from your medical advisor and are fully aware of any movements that are contra-indicated. Before starting a class, talk to the teacher to make them aware of your limitations and any particular care you may require. Select a session at your starting level: you can always progress to a more demanding group when you feel it is safe to do so. Try to participate regularly. The properties of water enable participants to use movements that may be difficult or painful to do on land. You should exercise within your own limits; exercise should never be painful or cause pain later.
