water aerobics

Splashy fitness class

Water aerobics is exercise performed in a swimming pool, typically in shallow water where participants can stand.

The water provides resistance while reducing impact on joints, making it popular with older adults and those recovering from injuries.

Classes usually involve rhythmic movements set to music: My grandmother swears by her water aerobics class.
