What are barbells made specifically for water exercises called?

The correct term for barbells specifically designed for water exercises is "Aqua blocks." These devices are engineered to provide resistance while in the water, helping users improve strength and conditioning in a low-impact environment. Aqua blocks are often made from materials that help them float, allowing for a range of movements during water workouts. Their unique shape and buoyancy assist participants in maintaining proper form and executing a variety of exercises effectively while also adding a fun, engaging aspect to aquatic fitness routines.

In contrast, terms like "Aqua bells," "Aquatic weights," and "Water dumbbells" may refer to other types of water exercise equipment but do not accurately describe the specific form and function of aqua blocks used in water fitness classes. Understanding the nuances of these different terms is key to effectively teaching water-based fitness programs.
