    Description
    Adapted to provide reasonable accommodations for students with verified physical disabilities, this course is an introduction to the discipline of Physical Education through water exercise in the context of an individual's physical, intellectual, and/or affective abilities and limitations. Aquatic exercise uses dynamic aerobic exercise techniques to provide a level of conditioning for both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. The freestyle interval format combines jogging, jumping, walking, punching, kicking, and a variety of aerobic-type movements performed in land-based programs. Students will strive for ultimate fitness through a complete program of cardiovascular exercise, strength development, and flexibility. A historical examination of aqua exercise for fitness, rehabilitation, and play will be included.
