What am I doing wrong?   Acute pain may occur suddenly while exercising. Causes vary and depend on form, technique, fitness ability, muscular strength, any previous injuries to the specific area, etc. Pain could be mild to severe in intensity. In both land and water fitness, causes may include an abrupt offset of balance, misalignment of the spine, or unequal body weight bearing.

Many leaders express concern over working long, hard hours in a hot, chlorine-filled, and humid environment. These are real issues that need to be addressed.   Our participants e...
