Kelly had a wonderful idea, I'm trying to figure out how many steps are in an Aquafit class.  She suggested I post the question and somewhere might know the answer.  I usually go to a 45 minute class.  I would appreciate the help and information

Hi Laurie,

I posted this in the TCC thread too, but, when I saw this thread I thought I should post it here too :)

I have a chart that I use that converts other activities into miles.

It doesn't have aquafit, but, it lists swimming. For easy pace 24 minutes equals one mile, for moderate pace 16 minutes equals one mile and for vigorous pace 12 minutes equals one mile. Maybe this can help?

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...

I wear my Fitbit One in my pony tail on top of my head during my 1 hour aquafit class and for the last 10 classes I averaged 3500 steps give or take for each class.(taking into consideration the walk to and from the changing room to the pool) as well unless my feet actually hit the bottom of the pool  I don't think it counts a step. so I am getting way more exercise but it certainly adds to my daily count

That's hilarious Kerry!! When I had my One, I put plastic wrap around it and pinned it to my bathing suit when I was doing running laps. I think the extra skin on my thighs might have counted for a few extra steps lol

You guys are soooo smart.  Kelly was right

 I knew somebody would know.  so that would increase my km to about 35 and add 7000 steps to my week I think.

Thanks

Laurie

Thanks everyone for your input about this. I sure wish my fitbit zip was waterproof. I stuck mine in a baggy once, bad bad idea. It was floating around, I thought under my boob was a grand idea considering my bathing suit literally pancakes them in place, well, nope, I found it floating in another lane when I was making my way back the lap in the pool, lol, funny yes, embarrassing yup! It didn't do anything really for pool laps but maybe when I try aquafit I will stick it in my hair!

If you are doing laps you can ask the life guard how many laps in a kilometer and break it down. I think the pool I was using was 20 laps for a kilometer which I never made it to.
