Back to All ExercisesExercise Guidelines
Balance and stability aquatic exercises leverage water's supportive environment to safely challenge equilibrium while strengthening the body's stabilizing systems.
Recommended Parameters:
- Frequency: 2-3 times per week
- Duration: 20-30 seconds per position or 8-12 repetitions
- Sets: 1-3 sets per exercise
- Intensity: Focus on quality of movement rather than intensity
- Rest: 30-60 seconds between sets to maintain focus
Aquatic Considerations:
- Water Depth: Waist to chest-deep water for most balance exercises
- Movement Patterns: Single-leg stances, reaching exercises, and directional changes
- Body Position: Maintain proper posture with core engaged
- Support: Use pool wall or noodle for support as needed, gradually reducing assistance
- Progression: Advance by closing eyes, adding arm movements, or using unstable equipment
