I tell all my aqua students this:  “It’s ok to exercise, but it’s great to Aquacize and Accessorize!”  Here’s three sites that make you look as good as you’re gonna feel in the water:

http://www.aviadirect.com/  When folks call me to ask about my aqua videos, they regularly ask:  “What are those shoes you’re wearing?”   What you see on my feet are not “land shoes”, oh no!  These sneakers are specially designed for water aerobics.  They have amazing arch support and heel cushion.  They toggle closed, so no undoing during my workout.   And most cool–they have holes in their soles that allow the water to come in and drain out zippty quick.  They are so light and comfortable–and worth every penny!

Mine came from Avia Direct (see website above).  Ryka also makes a kickin’ pair.  Please call them to fit your feet–sizes can vary.  One more tip:  before putting on your shoes, dip them in water, then they’ll slide right on!

http://www.swimoutlet.com/     Each and every of the cute suits i wear in my videos came from SO.  i really appreciate how you can order the top separately from the bottom.  And i love their discount prices and easy return program.

Additionally, Swimoutlet has oodles of “rash guard shirts”.  These are the shirts that originally were worn by surfers to keep their body heat close to the body while they were in the water.  Extremely, lightweight, throw one on during those early morning workouts or first-days-of-spring outdoor aqua classes.  You’ll be toasty!  Tip for you:  order a size that’s snug fitting without gapping at head, arms or torso because that’s what keeps the body heat next to you.

http://waterwarmups.com/   Sally the proprietor of this site is a real person–and she’s amazing at customer service!   She knows how to fit bodies.  Besides aqua shoes and other cool aqua equipment, she stocks these great ultra-light semi-scuba material jackets & shorts that allow you to work in cooler water comfortably.  Translation:  you can aqua in the great outdoors much earlier in the spring and later in the fall.  And Sally’s products are the best in the business–durable and good-looking!  Call her!
