Before entering the water, tightly secure an aqua running belt around your waist just above your hip bones
Enter the water to a depth as instructed by your therapist
Assume an almost vertical position, slightly tipped forward
Ensure that your head, neck and shoulders are straight and that you are not pointing your chin out forwards.
Begin by performing a running action with a large circular motion of your legs as you travel in a forward direction
Swing your arms in an athletic motion by your sides
Lead with your chest bone, not your chin
When ready, focus on flicking your lower leg forwards and straightening your knee as if striking a football, as your leg lifts in front of you
Continue this motion by forcefully dragging the same leg behind you to propel yourself forwards
Repeat with your other leg at a steady pace
