Aqua Aerobics Classes
In 2023, adult aqua aerobic classes were introduced. All ages and fitness abilities are welcome! Sessions are 45 minutes long, which includes an optional 5 minute swim at the end.
Exercising in water has many benefits:
It gives you a good cardiovascular workout, gently increasing your pulse and breathing rate, so it’s great for helping to improve your heart health.
It strengthens and tones muscles – the resistance of the water means that opposing muscle groups are worked in each movement as you push and pull against it.
It improves flexibility, while the support of the water greatly reduces the risk of muscle and joint injuries.
It’s a great stress reliever – the water massages and cools you, giving you a feeling of weightlessness and an enormous sense of satisfaction after the class.
All equipment is provided, workouts include noodles, aqua dumbbells, aqua belts.
Non-swimmers/ nervous swimmers are welcome.
Classes are held on a Monday at 6.15pm, Tuesday at 10.50am and Friday at 10.35am. Sessions are £7 for 45mins.
About me
As a PE teacher I have taught PE in both high schools and primary schools in Wiltshire and Norfolk since 2006, I was looking for a new pathway to follow that still involved working with children and sport. My own three children loved their swimming lessons as they are/were growing up and I believe that swimming is such an important life skill for children to learn. As a result, in 2021 Flying Fish Swimming School was established. My aims are; to provide fun, progressive swimming lessons to local children giving them the confidence and skills to thrive in water, and have a positive lifelong passion for swimming.
I have my Level 2 Award in Teaching Swimming, Baby and Pre-School Swimming Award, Aqua Instructor, DBS Enhanced certificate and Safeguarding certificate.
