A close family member of mine recently sustained a series of pelvic fractures from an accident. As part of the PT, she has been doing vigorous water exercises and noodling classes. The results have been good. This must be karma, the curse of the anti-noodling I have been doing for years now.
There needs to be a differentiation between noodlers and actual non-swimming water fitness. We need a good catchy name for the non-swimming water fitness people...
At my pool, we call them the "bobbers" because they are either jumping up and down in the open areas creating chop, or they are walking up and down one of the lanes, yacking in a pack, creating chop.
I do have to say that sometimes just water walking can be beneficial. There is a gentlemen at my pool who has lost over 110 pounds walking laps twice a day. He also lifts light weights every other day. He started somewhere near 350 pounds.
