I love water aerobics. There’s just something so relaxing about being in the water with a bunch of friends. And unlike Jazzercize, for example, where instructors have bodies like beauty pageant contestants, in every water aerobics class I’ve taken, the instructor has had a body more like mine. I like that, and apparently so do 31 water exercisers in Sapulpa. The water aerobics classes taught mornings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the Boys & Girls Club, used to have about eight to 12 students. Then volunteer water aerobics teacher Darlene Roberts and head lifeguard Mary Swan told class members that if they could get attendance up to 30, they would hold a drawing for five free classes. Last week, there were 31 students in the class and the ladies are hopeful the trend will continue. However, the doubled class size has created one problem: each student needs two water noodles and they’re down to just a few. I’m confident Mary and Darlene won’t let it slow the class down. These women have creativity and drive to spare.
