PHYSICAL EDUCATION (WATER EXERCISE)
Semester of S.Y. 2020-2021
Introduction

Water exercise is one of the nation’s fastest growing fitness activities. There are many
advantages to this exercise venue. It is only in water that three-dimensional resistance
to movement is possible. This resistance provides improved muscle tone and joint
stability. Water also provides smooth resistance that is accommodating over the full
range of motion. The participant in water exercise is buoyed up by the water, which
provides protection from injuries often associated with land exercise.
COURSE MODULE

Rationale
Aquatic Fitness is defined as activities performed in the water that promote and enhance
physical and mental fitness. Aquatic Fitness is typically performed in a vertical position in
shallow and/or deep water. There are numerous applications to appeal to a wide variety of
participants. The water’s unique properties allow the pool to provide an environment for
people of all abilities. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy
on the joints, while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles. Water lends itself to a
well-balanced workout that improves all major components of physical fitness-aerobic
training, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition.
Intended Learning Outcomes
A. Explain the nature and purpose in water exercise.
B. Define the suggested learning sequence for water exercise.
C. List all the equipments needed in water exercise.
D. Discuss the FINA Medical Rules in swimming.
E. Execute the water exercises for various muscles in swimming.

WATER EXERCISE

Nature and Purpose

Water exercise is one of the nation’s fastest growing fitness activities. There are many
advantages to this exercise venue. It is only in water that three-dimensional resistance to
movement is possible. This resistance provides improved muscle tone and joint stability.
Water also provides smooth resistance that is accommodating over the full range of
motion. The participant in water exercise is buoyed up by the water, which provides
protection from injuries often associated with land exercise. This factor allows almost
complete elimination of injurious ballistic stress on joints, connective tissues, and muscles.
Water training allows the participant to simulate almost any sport movement, and if a
proper program is adhered to for 20 to 30 minutes, three times a week, there can be
aerobic training effect for the heart and circulatory system. Clearly, therefore, water activity
holds great value for rehabilitation, and in fact many individuals who cannot walk, run, or
make ballistic movements on land can do so in water.

Although it is recommended that participants know how to swim, it is not necessary that
they have deep water swimming ability because water exercise can be taught completely
in the shallow water. However, if water exercise classes wish to use deep water for
conditioning, it is recommended that the teacher screen participants for deep water
swimming ability.

EQUIPMENTS

Necessary equipment includes a music player, battery operated microphone, and

amplification equipment.

Suggested Learning Sequence for Water Exercise

A. The teacher

1. The teacher should teach from the pool deck. This position allows students to
see the teacher demonstrating techniques and allows the teacher to see
student’s performance. Additionally, being on deck enables the teacher to
access any audio equipment that may be in use.

2. The teacher’s demonstration on deck must be slowed to allow the students

who are in the water to keep pace with the teacher.

3. The teacher should select music with lyrics appropriate for the student’s age
group.

4. Music tempo should correspond to the students ability to keep pace and the
desired physiological response, for example, warm-up, aerobic, and so on.
COURSE MODULE

B. The Participant

1. Appropriate swimwear should be worn (bathing suits). Cut-offs, gym shorts, and T-
shirts should not be allowed.

2. Participants may wish to wear aqua sock-type footwear to support the arches and
protect the balls of the feet.

3. Participants should take a soap shower and discard any chewing gum, candy, and
so forth before entering pool.

C. Teaching techniques

1. Water should be approximately chest level for most exercise (3 ½ to 5 feet deep).

2. Some participants may prefer to remain in the shallower water and squat down to
chest level; this will increase their stability. Others may wish to reduce stability by
standing in deeper water. Each participant should find a comfortable depth in which
to achieve the maximum desired results.

3. When exercising, the body weight should move in the same direction as the motion
of desired area being exercised; that is, if arms are moving forward, body weight
should be moving forward.

4. Leg position is the key to stability. Depending on the exercise goal, the feet should
position either shoulder-width apart (straddle) or one foot in front, one foot in back
(stride).

D. Exercise

AQUATIC FITNESS

Aquatic Fitness is defined as activities performed in the water that promote and enhance
physical and mental fitness. Aquatic Fitness is typically performed in a vertical position in
shallow and/or deep water. There are numerous applications to appeal to a wide variety of
participants.
COURSE MODULE

The water’s unique properties allow the pool to provide an environment for people of all
abilities. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact exercise alternative that is easy on the joints,
while the water’s resistance challenges the muscles. Water lends itself to a well-balanced
workout that improves all major components of physical fitness - aerobic training, muscular
strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition.

Shallow water programming is performed in waist to chest depth. The feet remain in
contact with the pool bottom during most of the workout providing a low impact training
option. Deep water programs, on the other hand, are performed in water depths that allow
the participant to remain vertical (upright) and yet not touch the bottom. Flotation
equipment is utilized to maintain correct alignment and provide a truly non-impact workout.

TYPES OF AQUATIC FITNESS WORKOUT

1. LAP SWIMMING. This is a common form of swimming exercise. Lap swimming can
be done using different strokes and is an option for fitness exercise. You can start
off with one or two laps so that you can complete without training. Gradually the
number of laps can be increased.

Benefits of Swimming Strokes

 Controlled breathing, which leads to developing your lung muscles and overall
aerobic fitness.
 Arm pull action which will build your triceps, shoulders, chest and back muscles,
rolling torso that is vital in building the abdominal muscles
 Building all leg muscles.
2. WATER AEROBICS

o SHALLOW WATER AEROBICS. Shallow water aerobics is performed in 3-4 feet of

water where the water is waist high. Feet remain in contact with the pool bottom
during most of the workout providing a low impact training option.

 MODULE WEEK NO.4

o DEEP WATER AEROBICS. Deep water programs are performed in water depths
that allow the participant to remain vertical (upright) and yet not touch the bottom.
Flotation equipment is utilized to maintain correct alignment and provide a truly non
impact workout

Aerobics classes are scheduled in one hour segments but the length that a participant
works out is up to you. Water aerobics can conform to almost any individual needs, abilities
or restrictions. You can adjust the size and speed of your movements to change the level
of exertion that best fits your needs. Water aerobics allows every joint and muscle to be
used at the same time. Water aerobics can be done no matter what your age, weight or
physical fitness level is because water keeps the body buoyant and therefore does not
unduly stress the joints and muscles. When doing water aerobics, it is the water, not your
legs, that supports your weight. This fact does make water aerobics or other types of water
exercise wonderful for people who have suffered orthopedic injuries.

3. WATER WALKING. Water walking is great way to begin your aquatic exercise. It is
COURSE MODULE

recommended that a participant spend 5-10 minutes warming up the body and 5-10
minutes cooling down the body. Water walking is a good way to get your body used
to the effect that water has on the body as well as a low impact cool down for a
tough workout. Water walking is an independent activity that can have many
variations. A participant can walk as slow or as fast as they would like. There are
several pieces of equipment available to help boost your workout that includes kick
boards, dumbbells, and ankle weights.

4. PUBLIC SWIMMING. Public swim is a great opportunity for participants to come in

with the family and/or friends and enjoy a fun time and a workout as well. Just being
in the water causes you to exercise. Every move you make in the water has to be
deliberate to resist the continual pressure of the water on your body.

AQUATIC SAFETY STANDARDS AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION

INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION

In most states, the Board of Education requires that the public school teacher teaching in
the pool be currently certified as an American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor (WSI) or
equivalent. An acceptable equivalent is the YMCA’s progressive swimming instructor
certification.

LIFEGUARDS

A trained lifeguard certified through the American Red Cross or YMCA lifeguarding
program must be on duty at water side for the duration of the activity and may not be

1|Page
 MODULE WEEK NO.4
assigned any other duties than guarding the participants during the time they are in the
water. If the school budget does not provide for a lifeguard, the teacher requires a specific
certification.

RISK ASSESSMENT

The Aquatic Council to the American Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation
and Dance (AAHPERD) established risk assessment procedures for aquatics in the
AAHPERD publication Principles of Safety in Physical Education and Sport. Some of the
topics to be considered include design safety, hazard identification, maintenance protocols,
supervision/instruction, record keeping, insurance, and emergency accident management
procedures.

POOL SAFETY CHECKLIST

COURSE MODULE

Pool safety is achieved only through a continuous program of quality supervision,

maintenance, and inspection by trained and knowledgeable aquatic professionals. A pool
safety checklist should be developed for the facility and should be used on a regular basis.
Different areas of responsibilities may be assigned to different individuals according to their
daily duties.

EMERGENCY ACCIDENT PLAN AND EQUIPMENT

1. The pool must have a telephone accessible to the lifeguard and teacher with
emergency numbers posted, a first-aid kit, towels, blankets, and an easily
accessible emergency entrance/exit able to accommodate ambulance personnel
and equipment.

2. A written emergency plan should be posted and records of staff rehearsals kept on
file. The local emergency medical services system should be consulted and used in
the development of the emergency plan and subsequent rehearsals.

Attention!!

The teacher should have all equipment for the lesson moved to the pool edge prior to the
participants entry into the water. The lifeguard or teacher should not handle phone calls or
other interruptions until the exit of all students from the water. It only takes 20 to 60
seconds for a swimmer to drown.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

All swimming activities require a lifeguard on duty.

legal or political considerations.

2. Consent

2.1. The voluntary and informed consent of the athletes is required for any medical
intervention. This consent can be made verbally or by written document.

2.2. Particular care should be taken to avoid pressures from the entourage(e.g.
coach, management, family, etc.) and other athletes, so that athletes can make fully
informed decisions, taking into account the risk associated with practicing a sport with a
diagnosed injury or disease.

2.3. Athelets have the right to refuse or to interrupt a medical intervention. The
consequences of such a decision must be carefully explained to them.
COURSE MODULE

2.4 Athelets are encouraged to designate a person who can act on their behalf in the
event of incapacity. They can also define in writing the way they wish to be treated and
give any other instruction they deem necessary.

2.5. With the exception of emergency situations, when athletes are unable to consent
personally to a medical intervention, the authorisation of their legal representative or of the
person designated by the athletes for this purpose is required, after they have received the
necessary information. When the legal representative has to give authorisation, athletes,
whether, minors or adults, must nevertheless assent to the medical intervention to the
fullest extent of their capacity.

2.6. The consent of the athletes is required for the collection, prevention, analysis
and use of any biological sample.

2.7. Refusal to consent to provide a biological sample for doping control purposes is
a doping offence subject to punishment in accordance with the FINA Rule.

Such intrusion is also permissible pursuant to the provisions of the World Anti-Doping
Code.

3.7. Any medical intervention must respect privacy. This means that a given
intervention may be carried out in the presence of only those persons who are necessary
for the intervention, unless the athlete expressly consents or request otherwise.

4. Care and Treatment

COURSE MODULE

4.1. Athletes have the right to receive such health care as is appropriate to their
needs, including preventive care, activities aimed at health promotion and rehabilitation
measures. Services should be continuously available and accessible to all equitably,
without discrimination and according to the financial, human and material resources
available for such purpose.

4.2. Athletes have the right to a quality of care marked both by high technical
standards and by the professional and respectful attitude of health care providers. They
have the right to continuity of care, including cooperation between all health care providers
and establishment which are involved in their diagnosis, treatment and care.

4.3. During training and competition abroad, athletes have the right to the necessary
health care, which if possible should be provided by their personal physician or the team
physician. They also have the right to receive emergency care prior to returning home.

4.4. Athletes have the right to choose and change their own physician, health care
provider or health care establishment, provided that this is compatible with the functioning
of the health care system. They have the right to request a second medical opinion.

4.5. Athletes have the right to be treated with dignity in relation to their diagnosis,
treatment, care and rehabilitation, in accordance with their culture, tradition and values.
They have the right to enjoy support from family, relatives and friends during the course of
care and treatment, and to receive spritual support and guidance.

4.6. Athletes have the right to relief of their suffering according to the latest
recognized medical knowledge. Treatments with an analgesic effect, which allow an athlete
to practice a sport with an injury or illness should be carried out only after careful
consideration and consultation with the athlete and other health care providers. If there is a
long term risk to the athlete’s health, such treatment should not be given.

 MODULE WEEK NO.4
5. Right and Duties of Health Care Providers

5.1. The same ethical principles that apply to the current practice of medicine apply to
sports medicine. The principal duties of the physicians and other health care providers
include:

a) Making the health of the athletes a priority;

b) Doing no harm.

5.2. Health care providers who care for athletes must have the necessary education,
training and experience in sports medicine, and must keep their knowledge up to
date. They have a duty to understand the physical and emotional demads placed
upon athletes during training and competition as well as the commitment and
necessary capacity to support the extraordinary physical and emotional endurance
that sport requires.

5.3. Athlete’s health care providers must act in accordance with the latest
recognised medical knowledge and, when available evidence-based medicine. They
COURSE MODULE

must refrain from performing any intervention that is not medically indicated, even at
the request of the athletes, their encourage or another health care provider. Health
care providers must also refuse to provide a false medicine certificate concerning
the fitness of an athlete to participate in training or competition.

5.4. When the health of athletes is at risk, health care providers must strongly
discourage them from continuing training or competition training or competition and
inform them of the risk. In case of serious danger to the athlete, or when there is a
risk to third parties (players of the same team, opponents, family, the public, etc),
health care providers may also inform the competent persons or authorities even
against the will of the athletes about their unfitness to participate in training or
competition, subject to applicable legislation.

5.5. Health care providers should oppose any sports or physical activity that is not
appropriate to the stage of growth, development, general condition of health and
level of training of children. They should act in the best interest of the health of the
children or adolesence, without regard to any interests to pressures from the
entourage (e.g. coach, management, family, etc.) or other athletes.

5.6. Health care providers should disclose when they are acting on behalf of third
parties (e.g. club, federation, organizer, etc). They should personally explain to the
athletes the reasons for the examination and its outcome, as well as the nature of
the information provided to third parties. In principle, the athlete’s physician should
be informed.

5.7. When acting on behalf of third parties, health care providers should limit the
transfer of information to what is essential. In principle, they may indicate only the
athlete’s fitness or unfitness to participate in training or competition. With the
athlete’s consent, the health care providers may provide other information
concerning the athlete’s participation in sport in a way compatible with his or her
health status.

 MODULE WEEK NO.4

5.8. At sport venues, it is the responsibility of the team or competition physician to

determine the whether an injured athlete may continue in or return to the
competition. This decision should not be delegated to other professionals or
personnel. In the absence of the competent physician, these individuals should
adhere strictly to the instructions that he or she provided. At all times, the priority
must be safeguard the health and;

5.9. When necessary, the team or competition physician must ensure that injured
athletes have access to specialized care, by organizing medical follow-up
recognised specialist.

Chapter II: Protection and Promotion of the Athlete’s Health during Training and
Competition

6. General Principles
COURSE MODULE

6.1. No practice constituting any form of physical injury or psychological harm to

athletes should be acceptable. The members of the Olympic Movement ensure that the
athlete’s conditions of safety, well-being and medical care are favourable to their physical
and mental equilibrium. They must adopt the necessary measures to achieve this end and
to minimize the risk of injuries and illness. The participation of sports physicians is
desirable in the drafting of such measures.

6.2. In each sports discipline, minimal safety requirements must be defined and
applied with a view to protecting the health of the athletes and the public during training
and competition. Depending on the sport and the level of competition, specific rules should
be adopted regarding the sports venues, the safe environment conditions, the sports
equipment authorized or prohibited, and the training and competition programmes. The
specific needs of each athlete category must be respected.

6.3. For the benefit of all concerned, measures to safeguard the health of the
athletes and to minimize the risk of physical injury and psychological harm should be
publicised in order to benefit all those concerned.

6.4. The measures for the protection and the promotion of the athletes health should
be based on the latest recognised medical knowledge.

6.5. Research in sports medicine and sports science is encouraged. It should be

conducted in accordance with the recognised principles of research ethics, in particular the
Helsinki Declaration adopted by the World Medical Association (last revised in Seoul,
2008), and the applicable law. It must never be conducted in a manner which could harm
an athlete’s health or jeopardise his or her performance. The voluntary and informed
consent of the athletes to participate in such research is required.

6.6. Advances in sports medicine and sports science must not be with held, and
should be published and widely disseminated.

 MODULE WEEK NO.4

7. Fitness to Practise a Sport

7.1. Except when there are symptoms or a significant family medical history, the
practice of sport for all does not require undergoing a fitness test. The choice to undergo
such a test is the responsibility of the personal physician.

7.2. For competitive sport, athletes may be required to present a medical certificate
confirming that there are no apparent contraindications. The fitness test should be based
on the latest recognised medical knowledge and performed by a specially trained
physician.

7.3. A pre-participation medical test is recommended for high level athletes. It should
be performed under the responsibility of a specially trained physician.

7.4. Any genetic test that attempts to gauge a particular capacity to practice a sport
constitutes a medical evaluation to be performed solely under the responsibility of a
COURSE MODULE

specially trained physician.

8. Medical Support

8.1. In each sports discipline, guidelines must be established regarding the

necessary medical support depending on the nature of the sports activities and the level of
competition.
These guidelines should address, but not be limited to, the following points:

 The medical coverage of training and competition venues and how this is organized:

 The necessary resources (supplies, premises, vehicles, etc.):

 The procedures in case of emergencies;

 The system of communication between the medical support services, the organisers
and the competent health authorities.

8.2. In the case of a serious incident occuring during training or competition, there
should be procedures to provide the necessary support to those injured, by
evacuating them to the competent medical services when needed. The athletes,
coaches and persons associated with the sports activity should be informed of those
procedures and receive the necessary training of their implementation.

8.3. To reinforce safety in the practice of sports, a mechanism should exist to allow
for data collection with regard to injuries sustained during training or competition.
When identifiable, such data should be collected with the consent of those
concerned, and be treated confidentially and in accordance with the recognised
ethical principles of research.
