Experienced Coach, Rod Benstead, gives participants instructions that are clear and easy to follow. The sessions are varied and include aqua aerobics in the 50 metre pool (standing depth) with noodles or dumbbells, stretching in the warmth of the hydrotherapy pool, and occasionally exercise in the deep water while wearing floatation belts.
