AQUATIC EXERCISE WEAR

         There are a number of considerations when choosing what to wear in the water during aquatic exercise (also known as aqua aerobics, water aerobics, water fitness, or water workouts). Other than competitive swim suits, it could be argued that most bathing suits are chosen more for out of the water appearances than a specific function in the water.  
         Aquatic exercise wear is designed with function and style in mind. Although many prefer the more covered look of aquatic exercise wear styling to traditional bathing suits, the best aquatic exercise wear will provide control and comfort when participating in vigorous aquatic activities such as aquatic exercise. 
  
      Our thermal aquatic exercise wear is constructed of special materials such as neoprene and an exclusive, dense Lycra. Our materials were chosen for their durability in pool environments and their ability to slow the loss of body heat in the water. Additionally, our gear is often worn for sun protection. Various components can be layered, added and removed according to the conditions making your aquatic experience more enjoyable.

WHY BE COLD?

    If the water isn't 98.6º, aren't you loosing heat? What is gained by becoming cold during an aquatic activity? Isn't a chilled body trying to tell you something? Most of us are careful to dress for comfort in our daily lives. We all have an assortment of sweaters and coats we wear for our personal comfort. Why not dress for comfort in your water activities?!

WATER TEMPERATURE

    Swimming pool water and air temperatures are a constant topic of debate at most multi-purpose pools. When a pool is used for many different activities ranging from competitive swimming to aqua aerobics classes and infant swim lessons, no single water temperature will satisfy everyone. By necessity, pool managers and aquatic professionals need to choose a compromise temperature and hope for the best. Lake, ocean, and river water temperatures cannot, of course, be controlled.
    
    Consider that  the temperature you set in your home and the temperatures set in offices and stores are also a compromise. We manage our comfort in our daily lives with a variety of clothing. We all have an assortment of sweaters and jackets we put on and take off to maintain our personal comfort. We don't hesitate to put on a sweater even when others may be comfortable without one.
