Aqua fitness instructors run class from the pool deck and sometimes in the water. Apparel splits into deck wear (the visual the class sees during warm-up and cool-down) and in-water wear (rashguards, board shorts, swimsuits under the deck top). Below is the pool-deck class kit guide for aqua fitness and water aerobics instructors.
The deck top is what members see during warm-up, cue, and cool-down. It is the primary visual branding piece.
For instructors who teach in the water:
Chlorine and pool sun fade screen prints faster than dryland use. Two placements hold up:
| Team size | Performance tee base | Total base cost |
|---|---|---|
| 4-instructor pool | $23.86 | $95 |
| 10-instructor facility | $23.86 | $239 |
| 20-instructor YMCA | $23.86 | $477 |
