Aquafitness equipment and accessories

What is aquafitness?

Aquafitness includes physical activities performed in water, from cardiovascular workouts to muscle strengthening, relying on the natural resistance of the aquatic environment. This practice is suitable for both those looking for a gentle activity for their joints and athletes wanting to diversify their running, training or trail sessions with complementary workouts in the pool. The water allows for a supported effort, which reduces impact while engaging the muscles.

What accessories can be found in the aquafitness selection?

The selection brings together equipment useful for training in the water and preparing for or extending the session on dry land.

• The swim shorts, for use in the pool.
• The skipping rope, for a cardio warm-up before or after the session in the water.
• The resistance band, for targeted muscle strengthening.
• The agility ladder, for working on balance and coordination.
• The massage gun, for muscle recovery after exercise.
• The training gloves, for protecting the hands during certain strengthening exercises.
• The ring and the step, for varying plank and cardio exercises.

When to take advantage of the best deals on aquafitness?

How to choose your aquafitness equipment?

The choice mainly depends on how you intend to use it, whether for pool sessions, dry land strengthening or recovery. For water practice, the swim shorts should remain comfortable throughout the session and allow complete freedom of movement. For muscle strengthening, resistance bands come in various tension levels, to match your level and the targeted exercise. The agility ladder and the step are more suitable for coordination and cardio work on land, as a complement to an aquatic session. The massage gun is useful after exercise to aid muscle recovery.

Frequently asked questions

Is aquafitness suitable for beginners?

Yes, aquafitness is accessible to beginners as the aquatic environment supports the body and limits impact on the joints. The intensity of the effort can be easily adjusted by varying the speed of movements and the resistance of the water.

Do you need to know how to swim to do aquafitness?

Most exercises are performed standing, with water up to the waist or chest, which does not require swimming skills. However, some more advanced exercises may require comfort in deeper water.

What’s the difference between regular swim shorts and those designed for training?

Training shorts focus on a cut that reduces water resistance and provides stable support during repeated movements. More regular swim shorts are suitable for occasional use or relaxation.

Can resistance bands be used in the water?

The resistance bands in this selection are designed for dry use, as a complement to an aquafitness session. For resistance work directly in the water, it's your body movements against the water that provide the resistance.

How to maintain a training swimsuit for longevity?

Rinsing the shorts in clean water after each pool session helps limit wear caused by chlorine. It's also better to let them air dry rather than using a machine, which can damage the material more quickly.
