This workshop will help the Instructor to cross train their client(s) using the protection and multi-dimensional resistance of water fitness. Intervals of cardiovascular conditioning will be integrated into flexibility and muscular strengthening sets. A runner will need to stretch the tight muscles and strengthen the weak muscles –which water exercise naturally does. Both shallow and deep water formats will be utilized. Deep H20 will utilize a buoyant belt to allow the athletes head to stay above the water, yet learn to work high intensity without impact or joint stress. The advanced session will utilize buoyancy cuffs on the arms and legs with a variety of exercises and progressions. Buoyancy cuffs are advanced equipment for runners who are looking for the highest performance training.

The theory exam is an applied learning exam (which is always in the back of the manual). You may email the answers OR mail the hard copy of the exam.

We suggest keeping the filming simple by only teaching a few people, OR even pretending to teach a class, so that we may see and hear your instructions. The examination exam process must be completed within 6 months. We advise all candidates to complete their exams as soon as possible after completion of the course, aate fees are $35.00/ per exam. Re-writes or re-try’s are $35.00/exam. There are unlimited re-tries of exams. Re-writes and re-tries must be completed within 6 months of failed date. We do not accept exams more than one year after training dates.
