Speedo Unisex Swim Aqua Fitness Barbell

They were better than anticipated, they give you a better water workout than others I have tried

Adds resistance. Ready for use immediately right out of box. The pair is Not heavy. Excellent quality. I can use the pair for deep water exercise. I am 5’7” adult. I won’t be buying a noodle, will not need it. Comfortable and smooth to skin. Don’t buy X-large, or jumbo. These are exactly right.

These "barbells" weigh only about a pound. But, underwater they provide considerably more resistance. How much more? About 25 lbs worth. You can buy aqua fitness "weights" (I think resistance bars are a more appropriate term) that offer more resistance, but none can beat the price of these from Speedo. And if you aren't reasonably fit before using them, you will find an hour of use in a typical aqua class will be fairly challenging.It is worth noting that floatations resistance bars like these are different from the fanned plastic versions found in most gyms. Those work by using the resistance of the water as you push and pull through it. These however, work by forcing them under. Therefore, the biggest difference is you have resistance in only one direction. The practical effect is that you work the opposite muscles that you would on land. Thus, arm curls work triceps, not biceps, when done with these resistance bars. And tricep curls work the biceps. That said, these will significantly to your aqua workout and are well worth the purchase.price.

I like these - they provide good resistance. I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because 1) one of them takes on a little water each time I use them, and there's no way to pop the little endcaps off to empty it, and 2) I'm not a fan of red! But great price and functional.UPDATE: I read another review and tried out the emptying method - totally works. When you get out of the pool, stand them up. They completely drain in probably 15-30 minutes or so. Also, a few people have asked - I'd say these are on the lighter side of medium resistance. If you're pretty fit, these might prove disappointing...

I bought these after trying a similar product in a water aerobics class, and am completely happy with them. They are well-constructed and provide great resistance for my exercise program. I have used them every day for a 1.5 hour workout since they arrived about six weeks ago. I have an arthritic hip, and even walking was painful at the beginning of the summer. I finally had daily access to a swimming pool, and tried a class using hand buoys. It was immediately clear to me that I could build strength and range of motion in the pool, and I've tailored a program to strengthen the hip and hopefully push off a hip replacement into the future. While my main focus is my hip, the hand buoys help me maintain balance, and I find that I'm getting a good upper-body workout with these in the bargain! My hip has improved markedly. I no longer depend on a grocery cart for support walking through stores; my husband has remarked that I'm parking further from our destinations; when I started I couldn't do a single frog-kick in the pool due to the pain of the "snap," and now I'm doing eight laps of frog kicks, using the hand buoys to do "pushups" "rowing" or curls as I "swim."

They worked great and are very helpful to exercise at the pool.

Great for exercise in pool.

These water barbells offer strong water resistance. The grips are comfortable and come in a nice pink. They look well built and should last a long time. I’ve used these before, but it’s nice to have my own set for the pool or beach workouts.😉
