Lateral Raises

Lateral Raises

While the Butterfly stroke is one of the ultimate shoulder exercises, not very many of us can do it. The next best way to get a good burn in your deltoids is to use pool weights, kettlebells (yep, they can go in the water—just don't drop them or you can crack the pool tiles), or even two pool noodles and raise and lower them straight out from your sides. Tip: Keep the whole range of motion in the water to take full advantage of that extra resistance.
