Summary: love them for the jacuzzi
Comment: I love how comfy these are. VERY adjustable. I also have the wrists weights. I do NOT use these for swimming. I use them in the jacuzzi because they hold me in place over the jets. The jets in our backyard jacuzzi were strong and I would float all over the place. Having the ankle weights and wrists weights on allows me to stay slightly anchored so I can enjoy the massaging jets without floating around. They are actually fairly lightweight under the water so it's very easily move around in them, but it is enough weight to keep you in place better. They are also an incentive to go ahead and do some leg lifts and arm lifts for exercize while I'm enjoying the jacuzzi. Very happy with this purchase. I dont have a pool, but I think they would be fabulous for doing pool aerobics! If you have very tiny ankles, buy the wrist weights for your ankles. The weights are easy to make lighter by taking out some of the slide-in weights. I don't know why you would want to do that unless you were using them for aquatic-based physical therapy and needed very low weight. Either way, these are very versatile and comfortable.

Summary: Well worth the expense
Comment: I have been doing serious water exercise (aerobic) for over 10 years, both shallow and deep water. I have used buoyancy cuffs in the past, without much effect. Deep water became less and less challenging, so I ended up just shallow water jogging, which satisfied the aerobic component of my workout, but my legs needed strengthening.
These really do the trick. I started with only 2 of the maximum 8 weights per leg, and could feel a big difference. My only complaint is that they are a little too large for my abnormally small (8") ankles. Wearing a pair of socks under them helps, and keeps them from chafing the skin. Fortunately, I am an older woman, past the point of caring if I look like a dork.

Summary: swim weights
Comment: I'm working back from a broken hip. Water therapy seems to have the best results and these weights are just right. Easily adjustable so I can gradually increase the resistance. I am very pleased with this product.

Summary: Terrific addition to water workout
Comment: These ankle weights for water exercise are comfortable and definitely add to the workout. An excellent feature is that the amount of weight you can carry is modular: there are four slots on each side of each ankle-band, and you can utilize either no weights, or 1, 2,3, or 4 in each side. Manufacturer recommends starting with none, then adding 1 at a time... Good insructions, simple to use, and I liked the construction.
