HHP 222 Water Fitness

Prerequisite: HLT 100 (Formerly PEH 100), or WELL 101; or permission of instructor

Students will explore varied water activities/exercises and then choose the ones desirable for them that can lead to the intrinsic improvement of fitness components and promote the extrinsic benefits of water exercise. The exercises generally are done in a vertical position and always with the face and head out of the water in shallow water and/or with flotation in deep water. There will be information on fitness swimming, but students do not have to be able to swim to take the class.
