HOW TO PROPERLY FIT
YOUR NEW WATERGYM BELT
SO IT'S VERY COMFORTABLE.
 |
| It's
important you take a moment to properly adjust and fit
your new WaterGym Belt. Once you custom fit
your belt, it will be very comfortable and you will
not have to make any further adjustments. Before
you begin, practice joining and releasing the
side-release buckle a few times. Then proceed.....
Start by holding your WaterGym
Belt with the female part of the side release
buckle lying flat in the foam groove as pictured. If
your belt came from the manufacturer and the black
elastic strap was not strung through your belt as
shown, do this now and make sure your belt is in the
same position as the picture.

 |
| Holding
your thumb against the female part of the buckle in
the position you see in the picture, wrap the rest of
the foam belt around your waist. Fit the male part of
the buckle into the female part of the buckle. Lock
the buckle in place. Keep the joined buckle over to
the side, close to one of the openings as shown. This
will enable you to tighten the belt once the buckle is
locked. |
|
 |
| Now
gently tighten the belt. Do not pull and tug on
the black elastic webbing so hard that it stresses the
foam. Our foam is wonderfully soft so care should be
taken so it is not damaged. It is best to take off
your belt to make your sizing adjustments, then put
your belt back on. Do this by weaving the black
strap through the flotation belt until the joined
buckle is back to its original position. Gently
tighten the belt again. Repeat if necessary until the
belt is snug around your waist. |
|
 |
| Now
take any excess black strap and weave it back through
the holes in the direction from which it came, as
shown in the picture. Thread it though the first hole,
and if you have a very small waistline, you will also
need to thread it through the second hole on the other
side of the belt. This way, any excess strap will be
out of your way during your workout. If the end of
your belt hangs a bit loose in back, you may tuck in
the belt and tie it down as shown in the next picture. |

Wear
your belt in the water, make one more final adjustment
if need be, and now your new WaterGym Belt is
custom fit for you. All you will have to do is clasp
and unclasp the buckle and off you go! A perfect fit!
IMPORTANT!! The black elastic strap on your
belt should remain securely in place once fitted. If
you find that your belt continually slips and loosens
up instead of staying tight, it means that the male
side of your belt buckle might have been accidentally
strung upside down by the manufacturer. We try to
catch these, but once in awhile they slip by ~ no pun
intended!
You can easily remedy the situation by slipping the
male side of the buckle off the end of the black
elastic strap , turn it over, and then restring it
back on the right way. Give the belt a tug to make
sure it’s strung right. It should not slip at all. |
