I have an above ground swimming pool and the water level comes about to my lower chest. I cannot swim, but last summer did ‘pool jogging’ as an exercise. I ran in the water around the outer edges of the pool. It had great advantages – I never got too hot, there was no stress on my joints, and the water resistance seemed like it worked my muscles.

I was wondering if you could tell me if what I was doing is good exercise or if you have any suggestions for other pool exercises I can do this summer.

Thank you for your help.
