What is water gymnastics?

Water gymnastics is a sports activity that takes place in a swimming pool, where physical exercises are performed under the guidance of an instructor.

Using the resistance of water, participants train in a versatile and safe way.
This practice is ideal for both beginners and those looking to improve their physical condition, as the exercises can be adapted to different levels of ability.

The benefits of water gymnastics

Practicing water gymnastics offers a range of benefits. First of all, the water supports the body, reducing the impact on the joints and making movement easier. 

This is particularly advantageous for people with joint problems or recovering from injuries.
Moreover, water exercises improve muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, contributing to an overall improvement in physical condition. Finally, aquatic activity has positive effects on mood and mental well-being due to the relaxing environment and smooth movements.

Who can practice water gymnastics?

Water gymnastics is an activity suitable for everyone: children, adults, and the elderly can all benefit from this type of training. 

Classes are structured to accommodate people of different ages and fitness levels. There is no need to know how to swim, as the exercises are performed in shallow water. 

Many sports centers offer specialized courses for pregnant women and people with specific needs, making this practice even more accessible.
