part in an aquatic program. We do recommend that all instructors, personal trainers, and enthusiasts take

The goal is to provide overall mobility for recovery. Therefore the
regions of focus will cover suggested exercises for : the Cervical
Thoracic and Lumbar areas of the spine, and the shoulder, hip , knee and
ankle joint areas. Other exercises include suggestions for clients requiring
CVA or post stroke rehab which can also be used for most movement
disorders.
These exercises will provide the Instructor with a generic base of safe,
adaptable movement that can be combined to create programs suitable to each client's personal needs. Some people
with a chronic condition may never advance beyond a certain stage for recovery – however this does not mean they
have not improved their quality of life. We train to work on the ability not disability.

This training will cover 3 formats of aquatic running applicable to the
many populations and skills we see in group exercise programs:
•

and injury prevention)

and those who prefer non impact )

Deep H20 Program (performance
challenge for those skilled and comfortable in the deep H20)
The goal of the program is to provide a more athletic approach to fitness
classes (weekend warrior through high performance runner). 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.

How Does the Certification Process Work?
Whether you complete home study or via
onsite education, you have choices on
completing the Certification exam
process.
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.
The practical assessment may be done
by either a Master Trainer (the candidate
goes to the Master Trainer at a
convenient time), OR they may submit a
video of their class (VHS, DVD or USB
stick). The candidate may tape this
either on land, as if you are teaching a
class, or in the water. 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.
Candidates are encouraged to email questions and partake in other WaterART Certified Instructors
programs especially Gold Level Certified (people with more than five levels of Certification or Master
Trainers).
All new candidates to WaterART Fitness or EXPIRED Certified Instructors MUST complete BOTH theory &
practical assessment for all levels of Certification.
When a candidate achieves another level of qualifications ALL qualifications are updated for 2 years of
passing date of latest exam.
