I was pleased to take part in the trial testing of the new Square Noodle - Sqoodle from AquaJogger. I am most impressed with this great piece of equipment.It is more buoyant during noodle riding exercises; more resistant with underwater exercises; more supportive when used for therapy; and much more durable than other noodles currently on the market. When I asked my students to switch and give others a turn with the Sqoodle, it was done with great reluctance. Participants began to arrive early or stay after class to have more time with this new "toy". I am constantly being asked where to purchase a Sqoodle.

Working with one leg at a time,  point the foot and leg in front of you at a comfortable height.   Using your leg as a pencil,  "print" the letters of the alphabet while  keeping your foot and leg under the water.   Draw A - M  with one leg,  then switch legs for  N - Z.  Skip from the letter  O  to the letter Q  - remember,  no "P" in the pool !    For stability,  you can hold on to the side of the pool  or  use a noodle.   For extra practice with balance,  stand in the pool,  and use your arms for balance while you  "write".

Variations: 1. write the lower-case letters  2. write the letters in cursive 3. use your arms to write instead of your legs   Thank you, Lori!!

Additional Variations: Exercise only the ankle instead of the whole leg; write names (pets, children, spouses, months, etc.); write words relating to holidays.
