Abstract
An exercise facility may be part of a water ride. The exercise facility may be coupled to a water amusement system. An exercise facility may include a body of water that assists or resists movement of a participant between stations or apparatus in the facility. Exercise stations may be at least partially submerged in the body of water. Exercise apparatus may float on or be coupled to structures in the body of water. A participant may move from station to station, or apparatus to apparatus, by swimming, floating, traveling underwater, walking or jogging in the body of water, or using a conveyor. A system for providing exercise may include a processing unit that processes information relating to exercise by a participant and a display for displaying information to the participant while the participant is at the exercise stations.

20. A system for providing exercise, comprising:
-
a body of water; a monitoring system for assessing a participant'"'"'s exercise status, wherein the monitoring system assesses, during use, one or more biological functions of a participant; a processing unit to process, during use, information relating to exercise by a participant; a participant identifier coupled, during use, to a participant, wherein the participant identifier is electronically coupled to the monitoring system, and wherein the participant identifier in combination with the monitoring system assesses, during use, a status of the participant in the system, wherein the status of the participant comprises at least one or more of the biological functions of the participant; at least two exercise stations at least partially in the body of water; and a display to receive, during use, information from the processing unit and display the information to the participant while the participant is proximate at least one of the exercise stations; wherein the body of water comprises a current flowing counter to the direction of a participant to provide resistance, during use, against movement by a participant between at least two exercise stations, wherein the current is generated by a flow generating system coupled to the body of water.
