Hi - the water in the lap pool at the gym opening near me is only 3' deep. I'm 5'3" - can I aqua jog in this depth? Thanks for the assistance!

No. You will need to find water that is probably about 5 feet deep at a minimum.

I am 5 ft 7" and for me aqua jogging in 3 ft would not work..Ideally with your height I would think 4" would be good. The idea is to move your arms back and forth and that gives you resistance in the water which is good. SO I feel unable to say that you could effectively water jog in water that shallow. Good luck

I don't have the pool out right now, but it's between 20 and 24" deep. A small child, let's say 18 months would have troubleclimbing in over the inflated double rim by herself -- maybe a good thing. I have never put more than about 6" of water into it, and my three grandchildren love it. At one point we sat in it with three adults and the three kids aged 18 months to 4 years splashing around us. I love it.

The large pool has sides that are about 8 inches high (I am guessing, I have not actually measured this). Last summer my 1 1/2 year old daughter had to sort of crawl/squat over the sides to get in. The larger pool is the same base as the smaller pool with an additional level, so it's probably 15 inches. Again, this is a guess. Depending on how much water you put in either pool and how many kids are in the water, will determine your water depth. But, it can be just fine for a little tike.

Hi Charmaine. First of all, I love this machine. Greatest purchase I've ever made. And I keep mine always open, using the suggested rubber mat, on carpet. Okay, now as far as height goes, I measured the length of the fullest extension (which correlates to your leg length, heel to top of leg), and it measures 37 inches. So depending on leg length will answer your question about a 6'3" person. You do want a full extension. And I guess I'd have to say there is no minimum height requirement. Your drag is in the blades pushing the water, the greater a workout you want, the faster you will need to row. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask me anything.

Honestly think its the pool itself. Im 5'2" and the water goes up to my knees. The ring itself is about 5 inches so about 25 inches of water. you don't have to fill it that high if you don't want to it's still functions at half full. Just looks weird. My 18 month old walks in it just fine with it full. Hope I helped.

yes. I sweat 3-5 lbs and end class in a pool and it still grips my hands and feet. HOWEVER, it doesn't grip the polished wood floor at my studio at the end or if it doesn't completely dry out (no 2-a-days or even successive days sometimes). I fixed this by using it on top of an open cell rubber mat like the Lulu

it is as shallow as you want it to be if you don't fill it full. the tubing outside is about 6-8" tall so if you filled it all the way the main pool would be that deep. the wading pool has a drain at about 4" so it doesn't get real deep.

This would be a drag on you in a pool where you can touch the bottom. There are other things that you can get that would be a lot better. Ask at any pool.

I honestly don't know. but I bought several types of these products because I do laps in the gym. they don't work very well don't work very well. so I returned them. however if you are using it for jogging or out of the pool activities, they are awesome. I hope this was helpful

Yes, you can dive off the blocks with the Garmin Swim watch. Most the time it will accurately measure the pool distance if you start taking strokes right after your dive. If you glide far before you begin your stroke it may not measure your lap correctly. Most the time though, it works just fine. Hope this helps. Cheers!

While I have not swam laps with this, I have had it in my pocket (submerged) while wading in the ocean. Personally I'm still weary of having my phone underwater for extended periods of time despite the manufacturer stating it's designed for continuous submersion up to 6 ft deep.

If you 'push down' it will pour out water. If you are sitting in a chair outside of the pool and rest your ankles on the side of the pool, it will dip down almost to the point of over flowing. You can rest your head on it while in the pool and let your body float without it overflowing. You can rest your arms on the sides while in the pool but not pressing down very hard. Make sure the ground is level!!

It's about 16 inches deep.!if you over fill it overflows into your yard. I put the extra thick interlocking exercise mats under the landing and pool partial when the kids jumped it would be a softer landing.

I took it to the pool and did some laps with it. It would work sporadically, it matters how deep your head goes underwater And how far the device is. I hung my phone in a bag midway thru the lap and that helped with distance. It worked well in jacuzzi after. So you can swim with them but not recommended. It's more of a selling point to stress the water durability of the product.

The foam part of the aqua jogger is 29 inches long. At it's widest part (fits in the middle of your back) is 9-1/2 inches. It is about 1-1/2 inches thick. The strap can be adjusted to fit a large person. It keeps you vertical in the pool so you can move your legs in a running motion. My husband (a former runner) uses it daily and loves it.

the water in the tub is only about 24 inches deep when you fill the spa up to the top of the filter . . . I am a small person -- took the head rests out and filled the tub up to nearly the top . . . it is fine for me, but, using the lounger is uncomfortable and the water just barely covers my body . . . in the future, I will opt for four reclining corner seats instead of any lounger. I just use the two seats . . . the other thing is that there is not a lot of leg room between the seat and the floor. For a taller person -- taller than 5'4", I would suspect that it would be uncomfortable. Otherwise, it is a nice size for one person, energy efficient and will serve my winter needs for a few years. the water in the tub is only about 24 inches deep when you fill the spa up to the top of the filter . . .

I have not tried this with swimming, I don't think it was meant to do that. I have used it to exercise - and it did get wet with sweat and still works, no issues
