" The important facts to remember are that anyone can participate in this program, " she says. " Soldiers love this program-and at my club, senior ladies are participating as well. It is also great cross-training for swimmers. " The program can be offered as a stand-alone course conducted three times a week-or as a once per week course with tracking options and deep-water time allotted for individual training. Part of the beauty of the program is that step count and training time are determined individually, and in a class format it is possible that no two people will have the same step count. (Neither music nor metronomes are used, so that each participant can have the full training effects of his or her individual step count.) Wykle often arranges training for aquatic leaders in the one-day Deep Water Interval Cadence Running Program (the AWEP component with the greatest cardiovascular benefits). A second day of training is required for those interested in including additional strength training and some shallow water options. Both of these modules are approved for Aquatics Education Association CEU's, and training is available through Wykle and several other certified trainers.
