Course Description Water exercise is a fun way to work out! Participants will be led through a fun and energizing workout that can be modified at any point. Students will use equipment like noodles and hand-held buoys to do muscle strengthening movements in the water. The resistance of water offers exercise that can be gentle on the body but still as intense as exercising on land. This class is a perfect way to cross train, get an intense workout, or simply get some movement in for the day! Logistics The class location is at Summit Middle School Pool.
