WHY WEAR SHOES?
Aquatic shoes provide the wearer with more stability and traction for an upright stance when moving through
the water. They reduce the effects of impact when jumping in shallow water and add resistance in deep and
shallow water, thereby further helping build strength. They help to prevent accidental slips on the deck and in
the pool. They also help protect the feet from infection and protect the joints from impact.
What kind of shoes can you wear? Old trainers (as long as they are clean!), surf walkers, sport sandals, or
specific shoes made for aquatic fitness. Ask any of our aquafit instructors where to buy these types of shoes,
they will be happy to assist you!
