How to Buy a Water Aerobics Wetsuit
Water aerobics allows a person to exercise every muscle and joint in the body all at the same time. Sometimes though, your pool might be too cold or you could catch a chill from the outside air. For moments like those, we recommend that you consider adding a thin water aerobics wetsuit for your workout!
The most popular water aerobics wetsuit is a top and/or bottom set consisting of a wetsuit top and shorts. The 2 piece concept allows for maximum range of motion and flexibility. An added benefit is that you can mix and match sizing for the top and bottom.
Our best selling wetsuit for water aerobics is the NeoSport Front-Zip Vest because it offers excellent range of motion, lots of warmth, and an easy front zipper. This vest is available in Men’s sizes up to 6XL, and Women’s up to 18. Most customers in warm to moderate pools start with this product and then add shorts or pants if they need some extra insulation.
Full front zippers are rare in the wetsuit world, but are in high demand for water aerobics customers who need a hassle free experience. We have a pretty awesome selection of full front-zip wetsuit gear!
Looking for more warmth than a vest or jacket? Check out our 1 piece wetsuit offerings. We have sleeveless shorty wetsuits and sleeveless fullsuits for men and women. Remember, full front zippers make wetsuits less cumbersome.
Care and maintenance of your wetsuit is important for water aerobics customers exercising in chlorinated pools. Chlorine inevitably reduces the lifespan of any neoprene product, but you can take steps to minimize the damaging effects. The most important wetsuit care tip that we can share is to rinse the suit in fresh water after EVERY use and hang dry OUT of direct sunlight.
Customers in chlorine 3+ days per week should consider investing in a wetsuit shampoo & conditioner combo. Simply dump a capful in a 5 gallon bucket and dunk your wetsuit prior to a freshwater rinse. Wetsuits cleaners and conditioners help keep the neoprene soft and supple. *You can reuse the solution over and over for maximum bang for the buck!

Hi LoLo / Team,
I am 59 and overweight. I always snorkel on top of the water and never had a wetsuit. I will be going to the Big Island this Feb and according to what I can find water temp is between 73-78 F and thinking I may need one for this trip – not sure of thickness and suit size. What do you recommend? Is a two piece better for my size?
Height 66″
Weight 245 #
Chest 51″
Waist 51″
Hips 47″
Neck 16″
Inseam 28.5″
Thanks,
Al
Hi Al. Thanks for reaching out. For snorkeling in those water temps, I’d suggest a shorty. If you’re looking for something simple but to also get a good fit, this short john in a grizzly large would be great https://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/PROD/17259-02.html#.Y7R4otXMLcs
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option and only plan to use it for one trip, this could work https://www.wetsuitwearhouse.com/PROD/MS200.html#.Y7R4YdXMLcs Most likely in a 4XL.
Hope this helps. If you have more questions, reach out to our cusotmer service department via email or phone.

Can you advise me? I am 78 years old and find my pool a bit too cold. I would like to purchase a wet suit jacket that is very flexible and easy to swim and do aerobics in. Since swimming helps arthritis, movement is very important. I do not do straight laps, but various exercises worked into a lap. Also – I am overweight so I do not want anything “sexy”.
What do you think?
I’m going to send you a private email, Laura. (:
Hi make sure it has a full zipper they can be hard to get off at your age,you dont want a full suit or a pull over that you may need helping getting on and off,i just checked ebay theres a xxxl camo jacket full zipper,25$bid 15 shipping.looks new.
And you can use as out of water jacket if its super cold.they really hold heat in shockingly so.
Because of how hard they are to remove you might want to start with hood gloves and feet.try searchs like neoprine gloves socks hood.jacket check ebay cheap.also thift stores often have wetsuits for like 20$
