Why try the AquaWalkingFIT Program?

We believe that moving in the water can do wonders for our mind and our bodies. This program will guide you through some aquatic walking activities for you to try. The program is aimed at people who might have been thinking about starting to do something to improve your fitness for a while but are not quite sure where to start.

The aquatic walking activities are provided on a video so you can do these sessions at any time that suits you. This is not a class; rather a program you do by yourself, guided by us. Your local pool may set up some times so you can meet others on the program.

We ask you to commit to at least 20-30 minutes in the pool ideally twice a week for 4 weeks.
