Nina Salomon, aquatics supervisor for the Delray Parks & Recreation, teaches people of all ages and skill levels.
The city of Delray Beach is offering residents a cool way to walk miles. According to Nina Salomon, aquatics supervisor for Delray Beach Parks & Recreation Department, a Water Walking Class for all ages will meet from 10 to 11 a.m. every Wednesday at the Pompey Park Pool, 1101 NW Second St.
“Participants will strengthen and build muscles with low-impact water walking techniques. The class is held in the shallow area of the pool at a depth of 3 feet, 6 inches. Participants will be taking advantage of the natural resistance of the water, which is 12 times the resistance than walking on land. Water walking participants are encouraged to start at their own pace to increase their range of motion and strength,” Salomon said.
She asks that participants consult with their doctor before starting new exercise plans. Also she asks participants to wear a wide brim hat and apply sunblock before each class.
“And don’t forget… hydrate yourself, drink plenty of water,” Salomon said.
Cost of the class is daily admission to the pool, which ranges from $1 to $2 per person.
