As a natural part of my progression working as a lifeguard, I acquired my Aquafit Instructor certification with CALA (Canadian Aquafitness Leaders Association) approximately 4 years ago. Since then, I have been required to obtain 8 CECs to maintain my certification and have branched out to teach a wide variety of aquafit classes. I have instructed classes focused in the shallow end of the pool, the deep end of the pool, focusing on aquakickboxing, tethered athletic training in the water, low impact classes for people with arthritis, etc.
I have also spent some time educating myself on the principles of fitness and benefits of aquatic training through my CALA course and also through a brief job I kept with the GoodLife Fitness club in Waterloo, Ontario.
