1. How deep does my pool have to be to use the WaterGym Water Belt & System?
When considering whether WaterGym can be performed in your pool,
you must take into consideration both your height and your pool's depth.

Your pool depth only needs to be deep enough that if you’re wearing a WaterGym Belt
and you extend your legs straight down, your feet wouldn’t touch the bottom. This is usually around shoulder depth for most people because the belt lifts you up. Here's a good test...

1) Stand in your pool at the deepest part of the pool. 2) Try holding two kickboards or any other type of flotation under your arms. Do they lift you enough to where your feet wouldn't touch the ground? If so, you should be able to do WaterGym! If your pool is more shallow than described above, you can still perform most exercises by altering them slightly. However, if your pool depth is waist high, it is too shallow for WaterGym. We'll be making some shallow-water workouts in the future, so no worries!

2. Is there a "weight limit to the WaterGym Belt?
There is no “weight limit” because your weight in water is different than on land. While suspended in deep water, you weigh only about 10% of your actual body weight. Therefore the amount of flotation you require depends primarily your body composition, specifically your lean mass to body fat ratio, which determines your buoyancy. You may be a:

• "SINKER" (higher ratio of lean mass to body fat- requiring more flotation) • "FLOATER" (higher ratio of body fat to lean mass- requiring less flotation) • “NEUTRALLY BUOYANT” (balanced)

3. How do I know that WaterGym Belt will float me?
It is impossible for us to know if our belt will float you, as that depends primarily on your body composition. GOOD NEWS! We get close to no returns, as our belt floats most everyone. Try it and return it if you’re not completely happy.


4. Is the WaterGym Belt a life saving device?
No. Our WaterGym Belt is NOT a lifesaving device, nor is it approved by the United States Coast Guard as a life saving device. The WaterGym Belt is intended to be used by qualified swimmers for exercise purposes only, and should not be used by children or anyone who cannot swim unless properly supervised at all times. This is because the design of the WaterGym Belt will not prevent drowning because the buoyancy factor and its distribution in the belt is not sufficient to float a conscious or unconscious person in a "face out of the water" position. User assumes all risks involved in using the WaterGym Belt. Please do not buy and/or return your WaterGym Belt if you do not agree to these terms.


5. I am a non-swimmer. Can I use the WaterGym Belt?
Please read question #4 above so you are aware that the WaterGym Belt is not a lifesaving device and all risks involved. With that in mind, many non-swimmers have bought our WaterGym Belt and used it in lifeguard supervised classes or safe settings. In addition, many of our non-swimming clients have loved wearing our belt so much that they have learned to swim!


6. Can I use the WaterGym Belt while snorkeling?
Please read question #4 above. With that in mind, the WaterGym Belt should never be used in risky environments or situations requiring a lifesaving device. However, if you are in an area where it is safe to snorkel without a lifesaving device, and you have proper supervision, then YES! Many of our customers love wearing our belt while snorkeling because it’s so comfortable and it allows them to stay afloat with minimal effort.


7. Can my children use the WaterGym Belt?
Please read question #4 above. With that in mind, please know that children LOVE exercising with the WaterGym Belt! However the WaterGym Belt should never be used as a safety device and should never take the place of the careful supervision of your children. It is not intended for children unless they:

• know how to swim • are in shallow water and safe conditions • are CAREFULLY supervised and are in arms reach of a responsible adult or trained   lifeguard at all times • are big enough so the belt fastens securely around their waste with no risk of slipping   through

User assumes all risks involved in allowing children to use the WaterGym Belt.


8. Can I use the WaterGym system without a WaterGym Belt?
WaterGym® is performed in deep water, so we don’t recommend participating without a belt unless you’re a strong swimmer and completely safe and comfortable in deep water. However, many customers get greater fitness results using the WaterGym Belt. Here’s why…
