The hottest pool party of the summer just might be at Edgemere senior living. The continuing care retirement community recently became the first in Texas to offer Water In Motion exercise classes. Aquatic workouts allow Edgemere residents to safely strengthen their bodies and build cardiovascular endurance.

Fitness Coordinator, Charles Plafcan, leads the 55-minute long sessions. To keep things interesting, he blasts tunes from the 1940s and 1950s. These are songs his pupils know and love. Many feel compelled to sing along and they are encouraged to do so. After all, this is just as much a social activity as an aerobic one.
