Water aerobics is a great way to exercise to increase muscle mass or even lose weight without putting any strain on the joints. Even people who suffer from various injuries and illnesses and are unable to weight lift, jog or even do aerobics on land are able to enjoy the weightless benefits of working out in the water. In order to maximize your time working out in the pool, there are certain accessories you should purchase.

Barbells

To add resistance for your arms while working out in the water, there are a variety of water barbells available, such as the Speedo Aqua Fitness Barbells. What sets these barbells apart from others is their EVA foam construction that resists damage from chlorine and lightweight structure to make them easy to take with you. They are the perfect way to provide flotation assistance, as well as resistance in the water.

Jog Belt

A jog belt is a must-have for anyone who participates in water aerobics. Perfect for deep water workouts, these belts give you the help you need with flotation, as well as provides back support during your workouts. The Speedo Aqua Fitness Jogbelt offers an adjustable waist up to 48 inches, making a perfect fit for anyone.

Aqua Gloves

For maximum resistance and higher levels of workouts in the water, add a pair of aqua gloves to your workout gear this summer. The TYR Elite Fitness Gloves offer double-sided neoprene webbed construction to give you even more resistance in the water. With an adjustable wrist and the ability for your fingertips and thumbs to touch the water, you can feel the water as you move through it, burning calories and increasing muscle mass with each movement.

Water Shoes

Just as you would want proper support while working out on land, you need support in the water. Choose a pair of water aerobics shoes that are lightweight, offer traction and are made from quick drying material to keep you comfortable in and out of the water. The Speedo Hydro Trainer Water Shoe offers maximum ventilation, a perfect rubber sole for traction and Speedo foam for comfort.

Fitness Kickboards

Kick up your leg workouts with fitness kickboards that are designed to keep your arms stable while your legs do all of the work. The Speedo Adult Swim Kickboard is made from EVA foam and is the perfect size for any adult trying to focus on their legwork and maximizing muscle mass in their legs alone.

Proper Swimsuit

Of course, no water aerobic workout would be appropriate without the right chlorine-resistant swimsuit. You should look for a swimsuit that offers comfort, flexibility and the right material to resist fading and wear and tear from chlorine. This will allow you to avoid restrictions during your workout, while offering long-term wear.

Water aerobics offers a great way to get fit in the water, especially during the hot, summer months. Before you start your water aerobics class, it is important to purchase the right gear. Among the accessories to help you with flotation and resistance in the water, you will need to focus on finding the right water aerobics swimwear to maximize your workout even further.

Greater Coverage

For the women who are self-conscious about how they look in the water, there are a variety of swimsuits that offer maximum coverage yet do not resist flexibility in the water. The modesty panels they provide give you maximum coverage in the thigh and chest area to make you feel less self-conscious and enable you to focus on your workout efforts. Look for a suit that is made with Chloroban Polyester to resist fading and premature wearing from chlorine and other chemicals.

Less Coverage

For the women who are less self-conscious, there are a variety of fitness swimsuits available that offer moderate coverage. You will still receive the same coverage on the top,with the perfect amount of support in the chest area. The main difference is in the thigh area, where there is less swimsuit coverage, providing you with even more flexibility in the water. There are a variety of solids and prints available, but it is important to ensure the material the suit is made from resists chlorine.

Shirred Tank

The Speedo Shirred Tank Swimsuit offers the perfect combination between moderate coverage and a flattering fit for those women who are more self-conscious about their abdomen than their thighs. With the same cut in the thighs as the moderate swimsuits, the shirred tank offers a flattering shirred material from the top to the bottom on the front of the suit to provide a flattering look to any figure. With thick straps and a high back, this suit offers maximum support while looking incredibly stylish.

When you are looking for the perfect water aerobics swimwear, always keep in mind the material that makes up the suit. You want one that offers chlorine resistance, as well as longevity to give you many uses out of your investment. In addition, you will need to determine the type of style you want, including maximum coverage, moderate coverage or a combination of both with the shirred tank.

Choosing long-lasting fitness swimwear keeps your costs down.

Competitive swimmers require long-lasting fitness swimsuits for a variety of reasons. The fit of the suit you wear for your competitive swimming has a major bearing on how you perform, not only in competitions but also in your workouts.

For some women, swimming to get fit is the perfect option to allow them to achieve the level of fitness they desire with less stress on the body.

When it comes to water aerobics swimsuits, you have several options from which to choose.

Conservative Suits

If you feel self-conscious about the way you look in a traditional swimsuit, you may want to consider women’s fitness swimsuits that provide a little extra coverage beyond the typical swimwear. These swimsuits offer more coverage in the thigh area so you don’t need to feel self-conscious about your body shape while you are in the water. You can find these suits in a variety of colors and designs so you can choose the one that best fits your style.

Moderate Suits

Another option in water aerobics swimsuits is the moderate suits. These swimsuits also provide a little extra coverage than the traditional swimsuit, though not as much as the conservative suits. Available in a variety of colors and designs, you are sure to find one that will appeal to your tastes. The moderate suit is perfect for swimming laps in the pool or partaking in a water aerobics class to help you get in shape.

Shirred Tank

For some women, the top is more of a problem area than the bottom. In these cases, a women’s fitness swimsuit, such as the shirred tank, can be the perfect option. In addition to providing additional coverage on the top, this swimsuit features shirring in the midsection of the suit, providing you with a slimmer look without actually doing the work. If you are participating in water fitness activities as a way to lose weight, this type of suit can be the perfect option for you.

No matter why you are participating in fitness swimming activities, finding the right women’s fitness swimsuit is essential. In addition to finding the colors and designs that best suit your style, you need to consider the type of fit. If you are trying to hide your problem areas while you work on them in the pool, you can choose from conservative, moderate or shirred tank suits to give you the coverage in just the right places.

The Nike line of men’s competitive jammers offers better performance in the water.

If you are serious about your swimming, the swimsuit you choose is important to your results. There are a variety of brands to choose from when it comes to fitness or competitive swimming. One of the top brands for men is the Nike men’s swimwear collection. All the suits are made with quality material that is meant to last the test of time and gives you a few advantages in the water that a regular swimsuit would not offer.

Figure Out Your Size

Before you purchase your men’s swimwear for competitive or fitness swimming, you need to determine your size. You will need to take your measurements while only wearing your underwear to get accurate measurements. You need to use a tape measure to measure your natural waistline. This can be done by measuring the area that is just above the hipbone. Your waist size will then determine the size swimsuit you need.

Uses

Whether you will use your swimwear for competitive swimming or physical fitness in the water, you want the same features. You need to look for a suit that decreases your drag time by not producing a lot of extra material that puffs out in the water. This will allow you to glide through the water, rather than fight the resistance of the water. When you look for the right suit, judge the compression or how tight the suit fits in various areas of your legs. You want it to feel snug and compressed without feeling as if your movements are restricted. Many of the Nike competitive swimsuits are made from the Nike NX swimwear fabric, which allows you the perfect fit with better results in the water.

Nike Techno Camo Jammer Swimsuit

Nike offers a variety of choices when it comes to choosing the right competitive swimsuit. If you are on a swim team, chances are you all want to match when you show up for competition. This shows you are a united team and can even intimidate other teams as you walk in together. The Nike Techno Camo Jammer Swimsuit offers a camouflage pattern down the legs in a variety of colors, including black, forest, navy, red or orange. This offers your team a variety of choices.

Nike Team Color Block Jammer

If you are looking for a more solid look, the Nike Team Color Block Jammer is a good choice. Your team color is swirled with white to help your team stand out the most. You can even have your team’s logo imprinted on this suit for an even more authentic look at your competitive swim meets.
