Expert Answer
In reply to queries about comfortable hand held resistance equipment, Jayne Hemmingsen, referred us toBettie Ann Clarke (ba.clarke@ywcahalifax.com) and her Snoodles©.   A Snoodle© is a piece of solid  noodle that is about 10 to 12 inches long. A slit has been cut for you to put your hand in--leaving the fingers and thumb out. It  provides balance and support during exercises and water walking. They are not recommended for use on your feet.

Jelly Bean Poem
Little jelly beans
Tell a story true.
A tale of Father's love
Just for me and you.

GREEN is for the waving palms.
YELLOW is for the sun above.
BROWN is for the soft earth where
People sat hearing of HIS love.

A SPECKLED bean for fish and sand.
RED for precious wine
and BLACK is for the sin He washed
From you soul and mine.

PURPLE is for the sadness of
HIS family and friends,
and WHITE is for the glory of the
Day HE rose again.

Now that you've heard the story
You know what each color means.
The story of our Father's love
Told by some jelly beans.

So every morning take a bean
They're really very yummy.
Something for the soul, you see
And something for the tummy.

Exercise Routine
This month's Exercise Routine is from Debby Gifford, of Cocoa, Florida.
Colored balloon volley ball.  I divide the pool in half and separate the class into teams.  Each side gets a different color balloon (the more the better).  Now the idea is to see if your team can get all you balloons to the other side, as well as keeping the other teams color off your side.  Least amount of balloons after designated time is up wins!  HILARIOUS!  It is amazing how competitive they become.
Carla's Variations:
Require specific traveling exercises (Ski, Jack, Jig, etc.) as they play.
Place an Easter theme on the game by having them move about using a Bunny Hop.
Restrict hitting the balloons with: one hand only - they chose; Left hand only; right hand only; head only. Thanks Debby!
