AQUA FITNESS NEAR ME

NO JOINING FEES, NO CONTRACTS

If you’re looking for a fun, all-round form of aerobic exercise, why not try aqua fitness? Running, jogging, and walking in water not only strengthens the leg and hip muscles - the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteals - but helps to develop cardiorespiratory fitness. The upper body also gets an overall workout. 


Water acts as a cushion for the body's weight-bearing joints, reducing stress on muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As a result, aquatic workouts are low impact and can greatly reduce the injury and strain common to most land-based exercises. 


Aqua fitness has been around for many years. It was originally aimed at the over 50’s as it is much easier on the joints than traditional impact aerobics. Today, these popular classes attract people of all ages and abilities. 


At The Swim Factory Australia, we offer multi-level classes where participants are encouraged to work at their own pace. These classes incorporate cardiovascular and strength training with the additional benefits of increased range of motion, flexibility, and balance. 


Our heated indoor pools, with water temperatures set to above 30 degrees, means you can benefit from our classes all year round. Get up and go in H2O! 


  • Why try an aqua fitness class?

    Multi-level classes: enjoy an easy, gentle pace or commit to a full workout (suited to all fitness levels).   


    No need to make a booking – just turn up and bring a friend.  


    Increases circulation and promotes relaxation.

     

    Burns off unwanted fat and eliminates joint stress. 


    Buoyancy in water helps to support your body weight and makes exercise less strenuous. 


    Exercise in water eliminates the jarring effect that occurs when exercising on land. 


    The water can act as a resistance and the intensity of the exercise can be altered, eg. by changing depth. 


    Increasing friction by exercising in water can improve the circulatory system and muscle tone. 


    Non-swimmers can participate equally. 


    The warm water can relax the body, ease pain, and facilitate movement. 


    Psychological benefits include self-esteem and sleep improvement. 


  • Class guidelines

    You do not have to be able to swim to participate in an aqua fitness class.  


    If you’re pregnant or have an injury, check with your doctor for advice prior to commencing any exercise programme. Please also advise your instructor on arrival.  


    Wear swimmers or clothing comfortable for working out. 


    Bring a water bottle and towel.
