Is water aerobics really aerobic?

Today's workout:

1000 - 2 x 500s Free
1800 - 6 x (200 Free, 100 Breast)
50 Grandpa swimming with Cathi

2850 total

Cathi swam strong again today. I didn't do so bad. Better than yesterday but not as good as a really good day.

Cathi and I were wondering today on the way home if those ladies who bob up and down in the deep end with their flotation straps and toys really get their heart rates up. I was wondering why they don't call it water yoga, or water bobbing social club. Not to dis on them, just wondering if it really is something that can be justifiably called a workout. Don't ever see any real skinny water aerobics people, so its making me scratch my head.
