Walking on Water at Swell

Walking on Water at Swell in Moulden, Australia, is a unique aquatic walking group designed for all fitness levels and abilities. Hosted at Swell Palmerston, this program takes traditional group walking into a temperature-controlled 20-meter swimming pool, offering a low-impact exercise alternative that is especially beneficial for people with joint or mobility challenges. The sessions encourage participants to walk, jog, and perform movements like lunges in water, making exercise gentle yet effective while reducing strain on muscles and joints.
