Aqua fitness with turbine power
“Aqua fitness is very versatile,” says Dr Birgit Schmid, summing up the sport’s benefits. The expert sports instructor knows what she’s talking about: as a therapist, she has experienced first-hand the positive effect that exercise in water has on the cardiovascular system. Exercising in water is also very easy on the joints, and the buoyancy of the water means that the pool also offers an ideal opportunity to exercise for people who are suffering from overweight.
Aqua fitness is much more than just water gymnastics: in addition to training strength and endurance, stretching and relaxation exercises are also interspersed throughout.
Turbine swimming systems heighten the training's impact
Aqua fitness is most enjoyable in your own pool, of course: the distances are short, you can choose your own water temperature and you are also flexible in terms of time. If the water current is driven by a turbine swimming system from BINDER, you can increase the training conditions in a manner personalised to your needs. The wide, powerful flow, which resembles the current of a river, is also ideal for effective aqua fitness training.
The wide, powerful current increases the natural water resistance. Second, the broad flow covers your entire body so that many muscle groups are trained at the same time. “In order to stay in balance, intramuscular coordination is essential,” says Schmid, describing the challenge. “This trains the deep muscles.”

The flow rate can be customised
BINDER’s turbine driven counterflow systems are also perfect for aqua fitness exercises because their flow strength can be precisely adjusted to suit individual fitness levels. In addition, the counter-current systems are available in many different performance levels – with volume flows of between 160 m3 and 1,200 m3 per hour. Thus, you can find the right model for you.
BINDER’s turbine counter-current systems were originally developed for endurance swimming. The powerful flow rate provides for intensive training without turning, even in small pools. Because your body always stays in balance, you can concentrate fully on your technique.
The near-natural current of the turbine swimming systems is ideal not only for aqua fitness training or endurance swimming. The systems also offer ideal conditions for wellness and health exercises or splashing around playfully.
