Let them do an exercise on an individual pathway, rather than tell them to travel to the right or left. You still provide the movement stimulus, but in such a way that they have to explore and develop all the possible responses. The water is an excellent medium for this kind of movement education. The very fact that water is touching the body, and supporting the body, heightens awareness, and gives a level of self-confidence to explore that is not available on land. It's about indulgence, self-nurturing, release, joy, strength, balance, and true appreciation of the incredible capabilities of the moving body.
Water is shape changing.
