Speedo Unisex Swim Aqua Fitness Jogbelt

While bulkier than other swimming belts, it was the first one I came across that worked for my build, as a 5’10” man of 200lbs. Two other belts I tried still had me sinking, which defeats the whole purpose.

I've recently had back surgery that has resulted in a fairly long recovery time. I'm a 66-year old runner, and anxious to get back on the road, but I've been advised that I need to be very careful of any impact during my rehab, including too much walking. Many years ago I trained with a flotation belt, and thought it might be an acceptable workout to get my strength back without the impact my doctors were concerned about. I purchased the Speedo Aqua Fitness Jog Belt from Amazon (2-day free shipping with Prime!) and have been using it to build back my strength and stamina, and I'm delighted with my choice.As I said, I've used flotation belts before, and found that they have a tendency to slip up, no matter now tightly they're cinched. The Speedo one-piece belt can be cinched tight and it stays in place, allowing me to use it for 20 minutes of workout without having to adjust it. In other words, it stays put!I'm a bit surprised about those other reviews who stated they had trouble figuring out how to adjust the belt. Really? It comes out of the box with the strap threaded through the belt. The only "adjustment" is to tighten the strap, which works exactly like a seat belt on a plane. It should be tightened so that there is no way for the belt to move. If it's adjusted loosely, of course the belt would ride up and be uncomfortable. Pull the belt tight and you're all set!As I discovered years ago when I used a flotation belt for marathon training, this is no sissy's workout. You can work up a sweat, even if you're in the water. It's a great, low-impact way to get your workout, or to supplement your daily run. Having used other flotation products before, I can tell you this belt beats the ones made from 3 or 4 pods. Those slip and are difficult to get to fit properly. They're just plain uncomfortable! The Speedo Aqua Fitness Jog Belt is a really good design, something I'd expect from Speedo. I'm grateful I have something of this quality to complete my rehab period before I hit the road again, and I feel pretty confident that I'm going to add it as a permanent part of my workout.

Buoyancy & fit.Perfect for my water aerobics class.

Bought this for friends to use when we swim together. I have another type with the separate foam floaters and wanted to see how this type performed. They both work, and they both ride up on you in the water, probably no way around that. The clip was a little stiff, but will probably loosen with use, and at least you know it won't be coming off. I swim in natural areas where there is no lifeguard and can swim fine with a waist flotation and feel confident won't be drowning. Also, like the colors. Recommend.

Instead of the item being level all the way around the curve is very uncomfortable under the arm. I am returning because of this. It is built good and the belt feel sturdy

Again it's made by SPEEDO so the quality is superb I still use for daily aerobics It's been through a pair of teething kittens, many many different pools, don't know how long I've had it yes if 6ou need to float in any depth of water you can doubt on thus an the belt has plenty of adjustment

I purchased this based on a review given by an adult woman who was unable to swim and wanted more confidence in the water. I was much the same. This belt allowed me to stay afloat and comfortable without the "wobble" that you get when trying to swim and stay in control. I feel secure in this! I wanted it so I could go snorkeling with my friends and feel confident. After putting this on within 30 minutes I was fining ALL OVER THE POOL to practice for our next trip. I purchased it used and honestly I would purchase a couple more just in case something were to happen to my current one... though it is well made and the integrity of the product is just top notch. I HIGHLY recommend this product. I looked online and cannot find another one. Guess this will go in the carry-on no matter how bulky!!!

I got this belt and found that it had several problems for me. Yes, it kept my head above water, but it wasn't comfortable. The webbed belt should always go over the end of the belt before it buckles (check out other items if you don't understand what I am saying). With the webbed belt going under the end of the jogbelt, it allows the very ends to stick out and get in the way of my arms when I am trying to exercise. Also, I couldn't adjust it to stay down around my waist (even going under my belly to keep it in place). It kept riding up around my boobs and made my ribs hurt.
