Deep Water Running
Minutes
AUT Millennium’s Deep Water Running sessions have been specifically designed to help improve aerobic fitness and running technique in a non-weight bearing environment.
It is biomechanically the closest cross-training method to actual running, providing a fantastic aerobic training stimulus. Deep water running is perfect for those who wish to supplement their training, continue training whilst injured* or to improve or maintain their aerobic fitness.
The AUT Millennium DWR sessions are designed and led by Kiri Price, who has been based at AUT Millennium since 2009. Kiri is a qualified and experienced running coach, personal trainer, swim teacher and aqua instructor. She has completed 200 marathons herself and has successfully used DWR in not only her own running career, but also with many clients in assisting them to reach their athletic goals.

Flotation belts are available pool-side for you to use, or you can bring your own. Remember your water bottle too. A certain level of water confidence is required as you are in deep water (2.2m deep).
*If you are currently injured or have a medical condition, please discuss participating in a Deep Water Running session with your health care provider prior to attending to ensure this form of exercise is suitable for you.
The Sir Owen G. Glenn National Aquatic Centre is New Zealand’s home of aquatic sport. Deep Water Running sessions take place in the facility’s 50m pool which is located opposite the main AUT Millennium complex.
