METAQUA offers a refreshing and fun twist on doing laps up and down the pool.

Using a pair of fins, kickboard or noodle and optional hand paddles for extra resistance, participants go through a series of exercises focusing on strengthening and toning the legs, arms, side and stomach.

Starting with a master plan including quirky-titled manoeuvres like the "brief case", "yabby" and "mermaid," programs are then tailored to suit individual goals, for example, targeting an area like the "core cruncher" plan or protecting recovering body parts.

Sally Walsh originally developed the program for herself but realising its potential to benefit others decided to teach classes.
