Astronauts train underwater to simulate the weightlessness of space because buoyancy helps counteract gravity, allowing them to practice movements and tasks in a near-zero-gravity environment. This underwater training, often conducted in large pools, helps astronauts adapt to the challenges of maneuvering and working in microgravity. Additionally, it allows them to rehearse the assembly of equipment and conduct experiments in conditions similar to those they will face in space. Overall, this training enhances their confidence and skill for the actual mission.
Astronauts train for a space mission to the International Space Station by undergoing simulations of spacewalks, living in confined spaces, using the station's robotic arm, operating spacecraft systems, and conducting scientific experiments. They also train in underwater environments to simulate the weightlessness of space and work closely with their crewmates to prepare for the mission.
Astronauts train for zero-gravity by using specialized simulators like the Neutral Buoyancy Lab's giant pool, which allows them to practice spacewalks underwater to simulate the weightlessness of space. They also use parabolic flights on aircraft that create brief periods of weightlessness. Additionally, they undergo physical conditioning and strength training to cope with the physical demands of living and working in microgravity.
I'm uncertain what the question means. Astronauts do not normally 'train' while in space. They train in preparation for space. Assuming that is what the question means: There are two ways astronauts train for weightlessness. Neither is satisfactory. * They train it a place called the WIF or Water Immersion Facility. You can think of this as a swimming pool where the astronauts and the equipment they handle are made neutrally buoyant. That is, heavy or light material is attached so they neither float nor sink in water, but remain suspended in the water. The resistance of the water on movement and the fact that your internal organs still feel the pull of gravity limit it's value for simulating weightlessness in space. * They ride on an airplane that makes zero-g parabolic flights (visit link below). The airplane (called variously, the Vomit Comet, the Weightless Wonder, etc.) climes to a peak then allows itself to fall for about 30 seconds. When you are falling you are weightless, so this accurately simulates the weightlessness of space. But, but the short periods and the high forces when the plane pulls out of the fall make it of limited value for training.
Astronauts undergo rigorous training that includes simulations of space missions, learning about spacecraft systems, practicing in virtual reality environments, and undergoing physical fitness training. They also train in underwater environments to simulate weightlessness, as well as survival training for emergency situations. Additionally, they receive training in science experiments they will conduct in space.
Astronauts train before going to space to prepare for the physical and psychological challenges of space travel. Training helps them familiarize themselves with spacecraft operations, practice emergency procedures, and learn how to adapt to the unique environment of space. Additionally, training helps astronauts work effectively as a team and handle the stress of long-term missions.
They use centrifical force machines to duplicate high G-forces. They train underwater to simulate weightlessness.

Because if weighted properly, they can be neutrally boyant. In other words, they're as close to weightless as they can get on earth. The astronauts train underwater to give them a sense of what its like to do their task while weightless and also to practice the peocedures required for their task. The first astronaut to take advantage was Buzz Aldrin when he trained for his Gemini 12 mission. Aldrin was and is still an avid scuba diver. He noticed the similarity between water and space. His succees on Gemin 12 made underwater training the norm for all astronaut extravehicular training.

They mostly train in Swimming Pools, thousands of feet underwater.

The Modified B-707 (or K/C-135) used for low gravity training, (astronauts, etc.). It flew a paraboloic curve that simulated weightlessness.
Astronaut candidates do "parabolic training" on a plane nicknamed the "Vomit Comet" (due to its tendency to induce motion sickness in passengers) so that they can experience weightlessness before being launched into space. If a potential astronauts is found to not be able to handle weightlessness, it's better to find that out before they actually get sent there for a long period of time. Also, weightless training gives them experience in how objects behave in zero-gee, so it's not a surprise when they get there.
It would be hard but astronauts would of been trained to do that so they can
No u do not need to go up into space to be an astronaut. Actually many astronauts train and train but don't get to go up in space.
All the astronauts train at the Johnson space craft center in Texas.
