What pool depth is needed for aquatic fitness?

Aquatic fitness is one of the safest, most comprehensive, and most effective ways to train. But a common question is:
👉 How deep should the pool be for practicing aquatic fitness with Poolbiking machines?

In this article we explain the ideal depth , how it affects your performance and why Aquatic-Fit.com equipment , especially POOLBIKING water bikes , adapt perfectly to any pool thanks to their adjustable height .

Why does depth matter in aquatic fitness?

The depth of the water determines the resistance offered by the aquatic environment and, therefore, the effectiveness of the training.

  • If the water is too low , the effort will be insufficient.
  • If it is too deep , you will lose stability and support.

The ideal balance is found when the water level reaches between the user's waist and chest : enough to take advantage of the resistance without compromising stability.
