Who says aquabike, necessarily says bike and swimsuit. But what will we put on our feet?<\/span><\/p>

Should you use slippers or shoes for aquabiking?<\/b><\/h2>

Among all the sports you have chosen to start aquabike! Your very first session is approaching and you think you are well equipped for the big day? You are still wondering if you should buy aquabike shoes... Is this accessory really necessary? If so, which model to buy? Can we rent one? Discover all the explanations of Aqua by.<\/span><\/p>

In our studio, wearing slippers or shoes for aquabike is not obligatory. The reason is simple: the bike pedals do not hurt your feet, which is not necessarily the case elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>

However, many of our customers equip themselves with socks, slippers or shoes to practice aquabiking. Indeed, although this accessory is not obligatory, it provides a lot of comfort and helps protect the feet throughout the session.<\/span><\/p>

Aquabiking slippers, socks and shoes are non-slip and absorb micro-shocks, so you avoid the risk of slipping.<\/span><\/p>

Aquabike shoes<\/b><\/h3>

If you're wondering what aquabiking shoes look like, it's not complicated: they are soft, plastic sports shoes with openings on the side. We grant you, they are not the most stylish shoes in the world, but at least they protect your feet by avoiding blisters and burns due to friction in the aquabike pedals. And of course, the small holes on the sides let water pass through so as not to weigh down your feet.<\/span><\/p>

Do you want to know if it is possible to rent your aquabike shoes? At Aqua by we believe that it is better to wear your own shoes when playing sports. In fact, your shoes will gradually take the shape of your foot, hence the importance of choosing a personal pair.<\/span><\/p>

Aquabike socks<\/b><\/h3>

Made of rubber, they are non-slip, keep feet dry, protect them from warts, fungus and germs present in water. The material hugs the feet for optimal comfort and a second skin effect. You'll forget you're wearing them.<\/span><\/p>

You can buy plastic shoes or special socks that go in the water at many sports stores. If you don't have time to get them before your first session and you prefer to cycle with shoes to protect your feet, please note that we sell them at the reception of our studios at the price of \u20ac14.90. Just buy them just before going to change!<\/span><\/p>

Slippers and shoes work equally well. So it's up to you to decide which ones you want to wear.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

And the other accessories?<\/b><\/h2>

Regarding the accessories to bring during your first<\/span> aquabike session at Aqua by<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, the one and only thing you need is your swimsuit, we take care of the rest: bath towel, shower product, hairdryer, etc. Remember to bring a flask or a bottle of water, just because you're doing sports in water doesn't mean it doesn't make you thirsty...<\/span><\/p>

As for aquabikes, don't worry, they are adjustable! Whether it's the saddle or the tightening of the pedals, the bikes can be adapted so that you are as comfortable as possible.<\/span><\/p>

Are you afraid of forgetting something? Don't hesitate to contact our team: we will explain everything to you so that you can prepare as well as possible and be on top for the big day!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
