Astronauts go through a great deal of training prior to going into space. It can take years for astronauts to go through all the training they need, which includes learning to work in zero gravity and going through a variety of realistic simulations.

You can approximate weightlessness in a swimming pool. NASA astronauts practice maneuvers under water.
The underwater training facility for astronauts is located at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) in Houston, Texas. This facility features a large pool where astronauts practice their spacewalks and other tasks in a simulated microgravity environment. The NBL is crucial for preparing astronauts for the challenges they will face during missions in space.
