Deep Water Running

Deep Water Running is a non-impact form of running done in place in the water wearing a flotation belt. Move your arms and legs as though you're running on land; the water adds another layer of challenge to the workout.

This seven-week course is directed by Robert J. Valentine, the program director for Blue Ocean Swimming and a longtime coach for Doug Stern's Deep Water Running. Valentine is also a professional swimming coach with more than 20 years of experience.

Benefits

  • Non-impact exercise for aerobic fitness
  • Simulates land running and provides cross-training for runners
  • Class sessions include imaginary cross country courses, interval training, hill pacing, and sprint
  • Beginners welcome
