Swimwear For Aqua Aerobics

Aqua aerobics is a sport in which many women (and men) around the world take part in. Swimwear manufacturers have recognised this and now there is a wide and varied range of swimwear dedicated to this form of water exercise.

Women’s swimwear costumes for aqua aerobics are designed so that they offer extra bust support and generally have a much sportier cut.

Aqua aerobics swimwear tends to be quite conservative but also very supportive as would be expected.

Exercising in the water requires a swimsuit that is comfortable to the wearer but at the same time flexible to the movement of the body.

You will notice a marked difference in the swimwear offered for competitive swimming as opposed to that used in aqua aerobics.

The style of the suits, for instance, competition suits tend to be high cut legs and thin straps and barely-there bottoms. Aqua aerobic suits on the other hand go for a more supportive design.

The straps are thicker so that they don’t slide around or dig into the shoulder the way thinner straps might.

The bottoms are fuller and do not ride up as much as suits with lesser bottom coverage would during exercise.

The bust is much more supportive and keeps everything in place while the neckline is also higher and more comfortable.

As with any exercise in the water, or out of it for that matter, the outfit you wear to take part in must have a combination of comfortability and support.

What Is Aqua Aerobics

For those that do not know or are unsure what the term aqua aerobics actually refers to and why there is a need for swimwear that is designed more for this than for normal swimming routines, here is an explanation.

Aqua aerobics is a series of exercise routines that are performed in relatively low levels of water such as in the shallow end of a swimming pool.

Exercises a performed mostly in the vertical position and without actually engaging in any swimming. Although many if not all who engage in this activity will swim after they have completed their routines. This type of exercise can be very beneficial.

Generally, the water level required is either waist-deep or chest height as this is a form of resistance training. It is mainly women who take part but quite a few men also engage in this water activity.

Aqua aerobics can be an excellent way to burn off calories while at the same time losing weight it can see increased fitness for many people.

Like any fitness or weight loss regime, benefits will only be noticed if you are doing aqua aerobics several times a week, generally three to four times a week is the usual recommendation.

Aqua Aerobics Benefits

There are many benefits for those who practice aqua aerobics. These benefits include weight loss, increased fitness, muscle building, joint pressure reduction and improved cardiovascular stamina to name but a few.

Weight loss will come from calories being burned off during water exercise routines.

Increased muscle strength due to working out in the pool, water has a far greater resistance than air. This means that exercising in water is a lot harder so leading to a much more rigid and thorough workout.

Aqua aerobics is actually recommended by doctors. It is an excellent form of Hydrotherapy treatment for those that suffer from joint problems and arthritis.

Regular exercise builds up the body and strengthens the heart and muscle while helping with blood flow for a full cardio workout.

What Style Of Swimwear To Look For

So what are the best or most popular types of swimwear that are likely to be recommended by people who engage in aqua aerobics?

Generally, the most popular styles of swimwear for this activity are one-piece, full-bodied suits.

There are many well known big brand manufacturers who produce swimwear specifically for the water exercise community as well as several lesser-known names.

Choosing swimwear for any activity can be quite daunting for many, as next to your underwear this is most likely to be the most skimpiest clothing attire that you are possibly going to ever wear.

Added to that is the fact that it is to be worn in public, although most likely everyone else around you is going to be similarly clothed so that may be a small consolation.

Aqua Aerobic Accessories

Aqua aerobics is a combination of many different forms of exercise. These routines are performed in water and as such there are a wide range of accessories available.

Training equipment such as weighted aqua-bands or ankle straps, dumbbells, pool noodles and jogging belts are just some of the many accessories that are regularly incorporated into routines.

Many people will prefer to start their water exercise program without any added props. Then as they become a bit more proficient they tend to look to using extra equipment. It is these accessories that will help them push past their present levels of fitness and strength.

As with all manner of exercises, at the start, it may seem hard going but after a few sessions, it becomes easier. It is then that the thought of using extra weights or accessories makes for a sensible option.
