Tabata in a swimming pool, but with kind of "Aqua Gym" exercices.
Extract:
"For the next 50 minutes or so, Keith will have the class repeating a particular set of exercises in four-minute sessions, encouraging them to work hard against the resistance of the water as they do eight 20-second workouts followed by a short 10-second rest period after each workout.
Each four-minute session is broken up with about a minute’s worth of rest or slower-paced exercise while Keith explains the next set of exercises and the muscles participants will work.
The class structure is based on the Tabata protocol, a type of high-intensity interval training. Touted for its ability to provide a great cardio workout in a shorter amount of time with quicker results, Tabata is becoming a popular fitness method."
Once again, the protocol is adapted and looks more HIIT than pure "Tabata". Doing so many sessions of Tabata within 50mn sounds almost impossible. Moreover, with limited aqua gym movement, it is unlikely that intensity reaches 170%, especially after a couple of bouts. Nevertheless it is still a good training.
