I want to use this for exercise in the pool, what size do I buy? I am 5'9, 160 lbs. Also, If I buy the 4 module can I remove to 3 module? Thanks

Hello, I would suggest you buy a 4 module.I find it most useful when my weight is evenly distributed. I have not tried it without the fourth but I have read other reviews that state better buoyancy is achieved with evenly distributed foam pieces. I believe that to be true.

You can remove the floats. As for which size you need that all depends on how much floatation assistance you need in the water.

The mate size I ordered a mat that was 3 x 2" and found that I was really to small. If you do order the ladder you will find that the placement within the pool is the real key to the size of mat you will need. my mat fit just under the stair s width and extends about a foot on both sides. But can slide under the steps very eazy. I would recommend if you can find one about 4 x 4 this will allow you to locate the mate back up to the side wall of the pool and provide a good area on all sides for additional protection. Just an added note you might find out that you you have a little some gap between the ladder and the pool where a small mat will move around on you. Hope that helps.

It comes with the strap and a sensor. the sensor buttons onto the strap. My chest is 52 inches and I still have about 6 inches of play in the strap if needed. The strap is flexible so it should fit you. This is truly a great product and it has helped me stay within my cardio limits. Good luck.

Get the 18mths to 2 yrs I think its the Xl size as the 12 to 18 myths will be to small, or you will not get much usage out of them. we run a swim school and except for small and medium for bubs up to 12 mths we tell everyone to go for the next size up as they are a better fit. Cheers Caroline

I am 5'9", 160lb, waist 34. I fit size medium or medium large wetsuit. You didn't mention your weight. My thought is that there may not be a wetsuit exactly fits you. However, my suggestion is that if your weight is heavier than me, you can choose medium large or large one, although it is much longer than you needed. But you can do something in your leg part and make it short.

It has held up a woman in my class who is over 300 lbs. I am currently 220 lbs. I own a large one and there is a lot of extra room still available. I take a deep water class each week and will be teaching the class tomorrow. If you would like to communicate a little more send me another message asking for my e-mail. I will be glad to send it. Like I said, I am 220 and the medium is just a little too small. If I lost 10 pounds it would close. It is a good purchase. Good Luck. Kim

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

I used a 15.4 pounder and it was a mistake. Too heavy for this type of workout. I ordered a 10 pound and maybe will order a 7 now that I have read all the above suggestions!

I bought the 9'10" inflatable (which is 6 inches thick & has a weight capacity of 350 lbs.). I absolutely love it for the lake. I had no need for the longer version, & wanted the ease of maneuverability, plus being able to carry & stow the board while fully inflated. I like the paddle that's included, too, & it's better than the ones I purchased standalone.

Hey Chris I was 280 lb at the time when I brought it and used it. I'm only 5'10"Also it was a bit bulky on me and took time to get use to it. 40lb doesn't seem like much but it is. I actually went and got the golds gym vest that is only 25lb and it works much better. I hope this helps you

It would be best for you to go to MiR weights online. There you can find a contact phone number for the company. While I personally don't think it would be an issue I would recommend getting the additional support straps. While "skinny" does not give quite enough information when it comes to measurements; I am certain my vest could be adjusted smaller.

Go with the four step ladder. For older swimmers it provides a much easier egress. Ideally you want at least two full steps below the water line, but three is much better. Also, BUY stainless steel bolts and nuts, they include JUNK, and incorrectly assumed they were stainless, and mine have aready deteriorated and need to be replaced. Salt environment they lasted two months. Ladder itself is great.

Actually, I got the woman's set for my wife. I believe that the only difference is in the body float since women are more buoyant. Large women should not get the men's size and small men should not get the woman's version as they will not function properly. There is plenty of room for variations in size. I think the dumb bells are the same. I would describe the resistance as medium and certainly not high. These would not be for strength training for a healthy man, or woman for that matter. This is designed for those with some limitations of joint function so as to eliminate impact on the joints. I can only give a rough estimate that they are probably around 10 lbs. resistance equivalent. Rough estimate only since I never used them myself. Just handled them in the water to assist my wife and never really thought about it. Pools closed now and everything packed away, so I really can't give you a measurement but I suppose that the company could give the actual weight equivalent. I do think it's an excellent product for those with joint or skeletal issues and it did help my wife significantly. Hope this helps.

I would recommend the same one I purchased, which is the one I wrote the I review on - 1.5-2.0 ponds by Canyon. I am 5.0, but weigh slightly more than you.

I also am 240 and 5'8" and the xlarge I bought works fine wore it for over 20 dives and they will take it back .Just use a mixture of shampoo and water to make it easier to put on.

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!
