Can you wear this to Aqua Aerobics

I am keen to try aqua aerobics (I last did it years ago!). Very self conscious wearing a swim suit. Do you think one of these would be suitable?

Swim Playsuit / Romper suit
I know a lot of leisure centres (including mine) are trying to be more flexible with their swimwear policy to be more inclusive. The policy mentions shorts/leggings and swim dresses. TIA

Probable scam site. Bloom Chic has 35% one-star reviews, and a total of 41% critical feedback. The website's cagey about returns and reviewers say their complaints were not dealt with properly.

It's Chinese owned, maintaining its supply chain and a major part of its operations and team in Guangzhou and Greater China, alongside offices in the United States and Hong Kong.

One reviewer mentioned "Non GB purchase fees and transaction fees". I'm unclear on what she meant: other Chinese mail-order companies deduct credit card fees and a percentage for lost stock compensation if they finally agree to refund.

Sizing and quality are said to be extremely variable. You could well get lucky with your playsuit, but be warned! It looks nice in the photos, and this type of swimwear is suitable for aqua aerobics.

I thought it was worth highlighting this post again in case you missed it!!

It looks nice, but personally, I'd also rather have something that doesn't flap around as much for AA.

I just started aqua aerobics this morning and loved it. I think you can wear what you like, noone takes any notice, but everyone was in a normal cossy.

I have a short leg swimsuit and wear a short sleeve rash vest, what you are suggesting looks fine. Have fun, all shapes and sizes go

I think those body covering suits can draw more attention to "problem areas" and probably make people look bigger than they actually are. I favour a textured one piece dark colour with a heave it in and haul them up panel.

People mostly wear normal one pieces at mine, aside from one lady who wears a dress suit thing. For me you want more support than coverage. Not just your boobs to worry about as it’s also really uncomfortable to have your belly flopping up and down.
