[5] According to Moreno (1996) and her quotes from Huey, an Olympic athlete trainer, the benefits of water resistance training include the activation of opposing muscle groups for a balanced workout.

Recent swimming research has focused on physical characteristics, energetics, aerobic fitness, and metabolic and hormonal responses.

Energy expenditure in swimming varies by stroke, and expressing cost as liters of O₂ per meter per kilogram provides a better measure of technical ability.

Free swimming is the most realistic method for assessing VO₂ max, and a new indirect field test offers accurate predictions.

Older people are more prone to arthritis, osteoporosis, and weak joints, therefore water aerobics is the safest form of exercise for these conditions.

Although it did not conclude exactly as planned, their test subjects did experience improved aerobic capacity, muscle endurance, and better overall life quality.

Swim performance begins at the cellular level, as all physiological work relies on muscle cells producing energy.

this is talked about in a study done for Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science Swimming by Stager, Joel M. Water aerobics has a few disadvantages from a practicality standpoint.
