How is exercising in the water different than exercising on land? One key difference is that doubling the speed of movement in water increases the force on the body fourfold. While air offers little resistance, water is approximately 800 times more dense and 12 times more resistant than air. Participants will experience this unique environment firsthand in a shallow-water class, feeling the force of the water as they work through specific movements. Increasing muscular strength is one of the primary objectives of the course.

Note: No swimming skills are required as this is a shallow water class.
