aquatic exercise
Water-based physical activity
Aquatic exercise is physical activity performed in water, typically a pool.
The water's buoyancy reduces stress on joints while its resistance strengthens muscles, making it popular for rehabilitation, arthritis management, and low-impact fitness: My doctor recommended aquatic exercise after the knee surgery.
Water aerobics is the most common form.
