- I am a retired schoolteacher who taught secondary English for 32 years in Hyde Park, NY and the Middle East. Upon retirement my husband and I moved to Virginia to be near our children. I have exercised all my life--land aerobics and Nautilus workouts, etc., but discovered Water Fitness when I moved to Virginia. I loved it! It's a fabulous workout with lots of resistance from the water, no sweating, no joint pain and, most importantly, it is FUN.
I began as a participant, but soon realized that I wanted to teach. My first certification was with Aquatic Alliance International in September of 2005. In 2010 I earned the Master Water Fitness Instructor and Coordinator of Water Fitness Programs Certification from the United States Water Fitness Association. I am now certified with American Sports & Fitness Association.
