Become an Aquacise Instructor
The Swimming Teachers' Association (STA) has developed an Aquacise
Teachers Training Programme specifically for those who want to become
a fully qualified Aquacise teacher on full time or part time. It is
designed to train teachers to take
aqua sessions of most ability ranges and all fitness levels from the
beginner to the athlete. The programme uses the resistance of water
and other available aqua exercise equipment.
As well as the increase in demand for more classes, Aquacise is fast
becoming a popular 'extra' for the increasing amount of fitness instructors
who want to take their knowledge into the water.
