Great book! by K. L. Price (Long Beach, CA)  5 Stars
September 05, 2008
This book has done wonders for me. I have a bad back and I am currently in physical therapy. I brought this book to my doctor and he highlighted the exercises that I should do and told me the ones I shouldn't. It's really nice to exercise the CORRECT way in the pool.

WATER EXERCISE MADE EASY by Ann M. Broomfield (BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA) 5 Stars
September 13, 2007
We havet a lap pool in our home and actually wanted DVD to show us a few acqua exercises that would suit our needs (sports and medical injury), but as no DVD exists we searched for a book. There are many to choose from and in "reading through" some of them, decided on the Water Exercise because it covered a multitude of health needs. When it arrived we were pleased as it is extremely easy to follow and the illustrations are very helpful. We made the right decision!

pros and cons by Mary (Alabama USA)  3 Stars
July 13, 2006
The book is written simply and effectively in helping you understand how to do the exercise and the illustrations are good but I was surprised when I got it to see how many required equipment (like little hand paddles). I was hoping for just straight exercises with little to no pool aids needed. Otherwise it was good.
