Improve
joint flexibility
If your child has a form of arthritis
or related condition, your physician may recommend an
exercise program to help improve their flexibility and
lessen joint pain and stiffness.* Water exercise may
be the answer.>
Increase
energy & strength
In addition to cushioning the impact of exercise, water is 12 times more resistant than air, allowing tripled strength gains over similar land exercises. Water also allows for a lower heart rate during exercise, so they'll burn more fat with less muscle fatigue. As a result, kids will increase their fitness level and have more energy for daily activities!
