Swim Gear For Your Backyard Pool Workout

Swim Gear That’ll Boost Your Backyard Pool Workout

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

When the weekly weather report consists of a string of several 90-degree days in a row, an outdoor jog can lose its appeal. But hitting the pavement isn't nearly the only way to get your heart rate up. Moving your workout inside is always an option, but if you have a backyard pool, why not cool off and get in your cardio at the very same time?

Whether you prefer a swimming set or aqua aerobics, this swim gear — from kickboards to water shoes to UV-shielding goggles — will give your water workout an extra boost.

Sporti Aquatic Fitness Light Dumbbells Water Weights

Yes, you can tone and strengthen your arms through resistance training even in the water. Just enlist the help of a set of the Sporti Aquatic Fitness Light Dumbbells Water Weights ($15). These light water dumbbells have a resistance weight of around four pounds and are made with a foam that won't absorb water.

The multicolored slip-ons — which are also available in six different colours — are made with a breathable mesh upper, perfect for walking poolside, and a water-resistant insole that'll come in handy once you're submerged in the pool.
