Meet Vanuatu’s ‘aqua mamas’

An aqua aerobics program in the sparkling waters of Vanuatu is encouraging women of all ages to jump in the water and get fit, in many cases for the first time.

The program, which is funded by the Australian Government through the Pacific Sports Partnerships, runs weekly sessions in Port Vila targeted at women of all ages.

In a new video, some of the ‘aqua mamas’ participating in the program reveal that it has inspired them to take control of their physical fitness, and exercise regularly, for the first time in their lives.
