Georgia Papagianis, the head lifeguard at the Cryder Point pool, leads a water aerobics class every Friday afternoon. The class, which takes place between noon and 1 p.m., has approximately 20 members, and started in June. “I love doing water aerobics,” Papagianis said. “I also enjoy teaching it because I like seeing the members’ smiling faces. My favorite part of the class is when we dance like The Rockettes at the end.” The class was set up by Trident, CPOC’s recreational pool company, and is mostly comprised of seniors which Papagianis explained is because it is easier for them to exercise while in the water. “The water resistance is good for them, and makes it a little easier than exercising on land,” she said. “It’s also good because it’s been very hot lately, and exercising in the pool helps reduce sweating and the risk of things like heat strokes.” In addition Papagianis pointed out, the buoyancy of the water reduces a person’s weight, which lessens the strain on muscles and joints. Lung capacity is improved due to the exerciser’s lungs working harder under the pressure of the water, and an hour-long workout in water generally burns more calories than the same workout on land due to the water resistance. Water aerobics is also a social exercise in that it gives people a chance to get together, catch up and talk with one another, noted Papagianis. The Cryder Point pool season ends on Labor Day weekend.
