Stories From The Great ShakeOut

Debby Turner
(Arthritis Water Instructor - YMCA - Santa Rosa (as far as I know only my class participated))

I teach a water aerobic class at the YMCA Santa Rosa. During the drill I had clients stay in the water and tread as long as they could. Then I talked about the exit strategies afterwards. Where are the closest two exits. The main exit maybe blocked due to broken glass. May have to use another exit. (Especially since most people are barefoot in the pool)
