I tried the aqua classes a few times at my gym...they're really fun, but the age difference between me and the next person was about 40 years! lol! But all the people in the class were really nice.
I didn't find that it felt like a workout personally...yes I was moving around, but I like the hardcore step classes and weight lifting classes. So I would say, give it a chance...I do the odd aqua class still when I'm feeling tired or sore, but I still want to get some kind of a workout.
I love being in the water to begin with so I think it's worth a try.

I did water aerobics at the university as a fitness class. I love swimming, and I took two times swimming class, so I couldn't take the same class again. In my opinion, water aerobics are great for people who had back injuries (or any other type) and looking for an exercise without having the weight that any land activity has. I don't think it is a good activity to lose weight. I rather prefer to do some laps that water aerobics.

for a heavy people like me 265 lb./5'7" is hard to work with the regular aerobics routine but in the water is more easy i start water aerobics three weeks ago and i feel good , our coach make us work hard and when you finish after an hour you feel tired but it take off the stress,
