An interesting feature of water fitness is the lack of self consciousness among the women (and one man) attending. Almost all of them are overweight and one is definitely well into the obese category but they are more focused on getting exercise and enjoying themselves than talking about weight and body shape. There's no embarrassment in letting it all hang out and wobble about!
Everybody drives to the pool of course and they all come in their swimming costumes with a shirt or dressing gown over. Nobody bats an eyelid when people emerge from their cars in in their dressing gowns. At the end of the session they spread a towel over the driving seat, slip into their housecoats and drive home wet! Of course it's warm enough to drive home wet, but still, I can't see it happening in England. The idea of setting foot outside the house in bedroom gear...really!
Today the instructor brought her ghetto blaster (I'm sure that's not what they're called now!) and we did various dances to sundry tracks. You try doing the can can or line dancing in the water!
No photographs today! Surprise, surprise!
