MK,

I am aware that you contribute a lot to this wetlook community of ours, and I respect that, but you come across here as having an air of superiority, which is unnecessary. Fetishes are very personal. You must realise that, and there are people on this forum who are into all different types of clothes, degrees of nudity, candids, posed shots, etc etc. Personally, I find that wetlook is anything which is not intended to get wet, but I also find that some clothes which are designed to get wet work for me too, if they cover up more than traditional swimwear. I include rash vests, for instance. Your own take on things is very fundamental, which is fine for you, but please don't be so dismissive of those who have a more liberal interpretation.

Rather than talking of bursting bubbles and destroying illusions, consider too, that some of us don't find this kind of illusion problematic at all. If it looks like wetlook, even if it's not, then for the purposes of enjoying a picture - well, that's fine for me!

Finally, the logo on the clothes that the girl in the picture is wearing, is clearly that of Addidas, and I would be amazed if they are not simply ordinary lycra based gym clothes, designed for land-based exercise. I have searched the web for clothes which are "designed" for aqua aerobics and jogging, and apart from the special shoes, I can't find anything.

I hate to burst the illusion here....but this is not "normal" running gear. Those are not normal sneakers but special "aqua jogger" sneakers that are especially made for wearing in water. Likewise the top and leggings are probably specially made "aqua wear" too...just like the shirts that surfers wear are not normal t shirts but aqua shirts made of material that especially made to wear in water.There are dozens of websites that sell specially made "water workout" shirts and leggings and sneakers.....so it is kinda like the specially made "burkhini" swimsuits that are made for modesty conscious muslim bathers.

Water workout fashions are is not much different to the material they use for making swimsuits and surfers apparel. The litmus test to see if this is really "normal" clothing versus especially made "water wear" fabric...would be this...

- does the fabric cling when wet

- does the fabric go see thru when wet

- does the fabric change color and go darker as it gets progressively wet

- does the fabric become more shiny when wet

Certainly water workout apparel will go shiny....but it will not do the first 3 attributes as "normal" clothing would react when it gets wet.

We live in a world of illusion these days, where manufacturers now make what appears to be normal clothings, but using swimsuit materials instead. Look at the triangular logo on her shirt and leggings....I can't quite read it, but am willing to bet that this is a special aqua apparel logo and it is not Nike.....so this kind of wetlook is about the same as Burkhini style wetlook for me.

Wow! I want a go. Especially as normal running gear is acceptable and "the tighter the better".

Bizarre though, because you'd think that the non-wetlookers would be all for doing this kind of thing in swimwear.

Go figure!

Aqua Jogging - Water way to get fit!

By wetstuff - Mon 18/07/11 05:44:51 GMT

Fully dressed in regular running gear, complete with trainers, I’m submerged to chest level in a tank of water as I prepare to try the best-kept fitness secret of our leading sports stars.

Pressing the start button on a high-tech screen in front of me triggers the familiar whirring of a treadmill belt beneath my feet and I’m off on my sub-aqua jog.

As I get into my slow-motion stride, speed restricted by the water’s resistance, it feels like I’m running with cushions attached to my feet and suspended in a harness.
