Edge Control Aqua Exercises

05 October 2025

Introduction

 

This series of exercises are about using the edge of the pool to support your body while working hard to remain steady and in place. The point is to challenge your body to stay in the same position, using your legs and core while performing focused movements with the free arm. 


To make these exercises even more challenging, the free arm will hold a noodle for added resistance. This makes a fantastic workout that combines strength, cardio and coordination in the same session. 

A powerful underwater exercise showing 3D character performing 'Side Jump Press'. Full-body muscle engagement and marked muscles.

Getting Started

 

Hold the pool edge with one hand and hold the noodle with the other hand while facing sideways. Let the arm that holds the wall stretch out, gently easing your body away from the wall. It's not your arm that should be holding you up. Instead, let your legs do the work to keep you afloat with steady flutter kicks. Use the edge just for balance without straining your shoulder. 

 

While this approach is designed for swimmers, even non-swimmers can participate by wearing a belt around their middle or by standing in the shallow part.
