Learning wellness: An investigation of a Croatian water exercise class

Original language description

The purpose of this research was to investigate the dynamics of a water exercise class with older adults in Zagreb, Croatia. I focused on three classes of older swimmers at a community exercise center in Zagreb, Croatia. One hundred and five participantswere asked to complete a short questionnaire. The findings indicated that these older adults are primarily motivated to maintain and improve their health. Also important is the social dynamic of participating within a class. And these older adults werevery active in various projects outside of the exercise class. Interesting data also provides insightful information on the details of the swimming class, descriptions of health, and use of free time.
