I began working as a swimming lessons instructor at the local YMCA in 1996 and I was approached about teaching adult aquatic fitness. A year later I was invited by the group fitness director to obtain a group certification. Eventually, I began teaching aquatic ex for the Y off-site at a residential community, but after two summers the Y discontinued the program. The residential community wanted to keep the program going. At the same time I was approached by a country club to provide aqua ex classes - and my business was born. I also program land-based small group trainings via Zoom throughout the year and have added other country clubs and private pools as accounts during the summer months, bringing the total number of classes to 10 - 12 per week. I enjoy educating adults of all ages (my participants range in age from 30's to 80's) about how exercise improves their body, mind, and spirit!
