Gathered in a circle, one person takes the lead, or makes a suggestion on which routine they want to work through, and the rest follow.
And as is common with friends, they have affectionate nicknames for each other such as King Neptune, water sprites, mermaid and more.
Since it’s not a formal program, interested people can just show up while they’re working and ask to join in the fun.
