Aqua Zumba

Known as the Zumba "pool party", the Aqua Zumba programme gives new meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Integrating the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua fitness disciplines, the class blends it all together into a safe, challenging, water-based workout that is cardio-conditioning, body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief.

The fitness benefits you find on land exists in Aqua Zumba, such as muscle strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, caloric expansion and muscle flexibility. By being in the water, there are additional benefits, lower impact on joints and bones and higher resistance for muscle toning resulting in a higher workout intensity compared to land exercise and a full body massage from the water around you.

Aqua zumba classes attract people of all ages and fitness levels. Only your torsi is submerged in the water, so there is no requirement to know how to swim since the water is at chest level.

Enjoy a free swim after the class.
