Aqua Fit Ladies - Diane Scantlebury

Splish, splash in the pool of the Beau Sejour
Like dancing swans the aqua fit ladies,
Flick their legs, with arms held high,
A curious assortment of water babies,

In an atmosphere tinged with eau de chlorine
Music pumps to encourage them to break into sweat,
Their heads nod as they struggle to keep foam dumbbells under,
Or avoid the ducking that’d get their hair wet,

Swish, splosh in the pool of the Beau Sejour
Sway the hips of the aqua fit ladies,
As they wriggle and giggle in time to music,
They’re a happy assortment of water babies.
