Many colleges are now offering aquatic fitness classes as part of their non-credit program. The cost of a water aerobics class varies. It may be included with pool membership at some facilities. Other facilities may charge an additional fee to participate. When prescribed for health reasons, some insurance companies will cover the cost of aquatic programs.
Aquatic exercise is a safe and energizing way to work out.
The following guidelines are recommended for all participants. Consult with your physician before beginning any new exercise program. Pre-existing health conditions, past injuries, certain medications, and other factors can all influence your ability to safely participate in a new exercise program. Never swim or exercise in the water alone. Even the most experienced swimmer can encounter an in-water emergency that requires the assistance of another individual.
