Pool walking?

I just recently got a pool and I was wondering if walking in a pool would burn calories, I saw water jogging in the exercises but I'm not really sure what that consists of. Do anybody have any answers?
Thanks:)

Yes it counts.We do loads of it during water aerobics. What you can do is walk the length of the then walk backwards. Walk back making sure you are raising your knees high and again come returns backwards. You can also do sideways crabwalks. If you buy a pair of water weights you can also do arm curls as you are walking. The key is to keep them just below the surface of the water for best resistance. I think if you google there are a few dvds out on water exercise. You can get a really good workout in.

Awesome information! I'm hanging out in my dad's pool tomorrow so....I know what tomorrow's exercise is gonna be!!!

Thank you for bringing up this topic. I have been doing this for exercise this past week and couldn't find it in the database. I'm not a strong swimmer and I needed and option for the triple digit temps that will be arriving soon in this part of the country. I did some investigating and found that you can burn up to 250 calories in 30 minutes by water walking in water that is chest deep if you also move your arms vigorously and work those muscles, as well. I added this to the database if anyone is comfortable with this information and would like to use it.
