Finding a class
Check with your local YMCA, community center, or private fitness center to find an aquatic exercise class. Observe a class
or try one out before making a commitment. Give yourself time to get used to the water and the workouts. As with many activities,
aquatic exercise is a skill that takes more than a class or two to master.
For more information, including some exercises to try, go to the Web site for the Aquatic Exercise Association or to the aquatic physical therapy section of the American Physical Therapy Association's Web site.
