Step 1
Get dressed for the pool and out of the locker room. Since you're wearing a swimming suit for the workout, a locker room stretch can be chilly.
-
Step 2
Get in the pool and start walking back and forth. Walk a couple of lengths of the pool, then start your stretching.
-
Step 3
Use the wall for resistance. Place both of your hands on the edge in chest-deep water and lean in. This stretches the muscles in the back of your legs. Then put one foot in front of the other and repeat the stretch. Repeat again with the other leg. Continue to stretch your legs by standing with your legs slightly more than shoulder's width and lean from one side to the other. Then hold your toes behind your back, using the pool wall for support. Repeat with the other leg.
-
Step 4
Start stretching your arm muscles. Begin by waving your arms from the front of your body to the back until your arms are loose. Then hold one arm across your chest, putting pressure on the top part of your arm between your elbow and shoulder. Do not press directly on your elbow. Repeat with your other arm. Next, hold your arm over your head next to your ear and push back in the same spot as in the prior exercise. Repeat with your other arm.
-
Step 5
Stretch your back. Stand next to the wall with your feet parallel to the wall. Place your hands on the wall and gently twist. Repeat, standing in the other direction.
