aquafit

Water aerobics class

Aquafit is a fitness class conducted in a swimming pool, combining aerobic exercise with the resistance and buoyancy of water.

The format is gentler on joints than land-based workouts, making it popular with older adults and those recovering from injuries: My grandmother swears by her Tuesday aquafit class.

Also called water aerobics or aqua aerobics.
