does the belt make you float or are you actually touching the bottom of the pool and jogging?

It absolutely keeps you afloat. I do all the exercises in the deep end of the pool with all 3 pieces and never touch the bottom.

The belt gives you buoyancy but you have to use your hand and legs to keep yourself upright and stable. It helps you tread water. It is an aid, not a float

The belt around your waist keeps u afloat in deep end but submerged enough to shoulder level. I'm 5'4" and weigh 140#

You cannot aquajog with your feet touching the bottom of the pool. You need a deep pool and the belt keeps you afloat so you can get full leg movement. Try it - the best ex exercise ever but keep your correct posture.

No it does not make your phone float. It has strap that you can place around neck.

No, the bottom is flat,.only the three colored rings are inflatable. I put the pool on thick foam pieces to cushion it.

Antoinette, I haven't tried a long run with this vest, but with short jogs, I find it too bouncy. I suppose I could cinch it tighter, but I'm kind of round abd it would make breathing difficult.

not really. padding is for comfort, which will come in handy with weight of equipment. the thin and lite weight padding will not float once it absorbs water though. definitely an equipment/utility belt not a floatation device.

No. It wobbled with a fast walk. Not a good choice for jogging. I sent it back.

I have never used it in the pool but it is pretty light. It seems that it would probably float. But like I said I have never tried it

I can't say that it doesn't move at all, but it's pretty minimal. You will still get the benefit from it. It's fitted really well, and is MUCH more comfortable than the regular gait belts.

Yes, it will keep you afloat, but it is probably safer to wear a certified life jacket. I just wear mine in a local swimming pool. The belt fits right under your chest so I'm not sure how that would hit you when you are sitting in a kayak.

I really don't know because I bought the runner flotation for walking in the pool.

There are holes on the base that the water fill into when ypu put the unit into the water. The treadmill stays on the bottom of the pool by itself.

Not typically, I understand it to be more for aiding in holding the belly up against gravity...ie while standing. Plus you don't want to wear it 24/7, you don't want to have the belt compressing the same area for that many hours on end.

I wasn't sure since we haven't played in the pool yet, so I filled the sink with water and dropped it it. It's been 20 minutes and it's still floating :-) it's heavy, but it Does float!

yes as you do not want your feet to touch the bottom when using the belt to exercise.

Anyone can "walk" in a swimming pool, with or without weights. The pool I walk in is only 4'6" at its deepest. The weight belt provides greater resistance and stability when walking or jogging in a swimming pool.

I am also petite and find that the belt is made for "larger" people. It does ride up, but I enjoy the workout I get from it in the pool anyway!
