Participants who would not be suitable for the program:

While aerobics can accommodate a wide range of participants as long as prescreening measures are in place, there are certain individuals who may need further assistance to be suitable for the program.

These may include:
- Individuals with Cognitive Impairments:
Those with dementia or other cognitive conditions may have difficulty following instructions or responding to safety cues. However this type of exercise and experience can improve cognitive functionality, the pool is small and I do keep a close eye on my participants, as long as they are safe, moving and having fun, I would not put a limitation on these conditions.

- Post-Surgery Participants:
Individuals recovering from surgery may need to avoid physical activity until cleared by a healthcare provider. No open wounds.

- Users of Walking Aids:
Participants who rely on walking aids may struggle accessing the pool, and or may require additional support. However I have clients that do need walking aids on land and participate in the program, they absolutely love being in the water. It is very good for their overall health.

- Those Unable to Navigate Stairs:
Individuals who cannot go up and down stairs may find it challenging to access the pool area safely. There is a ramp, to bypass the stairs, however some people may need help getting to the pool, which we can accommodate. Once in the pool most participants can and love the exercise. There is no ramp into the water only stairs. This may limit some people unfortunately.

It's important to assess each participant's individual needs and limitations during the prescreening process to ensure their safety and suitability for the program. I would love everyone and every body to access aqua for their overall well being and health.
