Water aerobics for non-swimmers

In my Quest to get more fit before surgery, I've been doing some things that are outside of my comfort zone. Last week, I finished a bellydancing series at the gym.

Now, I'm thinking about trying some of the Water aerobics, but the classes that are most convenient for me to get to are almost all at the deep end. I'm 300 pounds and can't swim.

I know they have those floaty waist things, but will they really hold someone my size out of the water? Has anyone else tried this that might have some suggestions or experiences to share?

No, I can't even with actual spit! The idea of it near my eyes.... Nope!

I did find a product online called spit. But I wonder if I can find it in a sporting goods store.

There is like a no fog for speedos. I've been using the Vanquisher 2.0's. Never had a problem. Did you get them fitted right? There is an anti fog solution that Speedo has.

The first time I used them it was glorious. Perfect clarity. Since then, fog city. They fit great - they are sealed to my face and no Water or anything gets in.
