I’ve seen people running in a swimming pool. Why are they running in water and what does it do for them?

They are doing what is known as deep water running or aquajogging, this is a non weight-bearing activity that consists of performing a running motion in the deep end of a swimming pool.

The purpose is to optimize cardiovascular and muscular conditioning, while minimizing joint, bone, muscular, tendon and ligament stress. It is ideal for people recovering from injuries or had previous injuries.
