  Have you considered...
​AQX Certification for all Head Guards

Why? By having all Head Guards AQX certified, your facility always has a qualified aqua fitness instructor in the building. Brilliant!

This policy means more males become aqua fitness instructors. It's a WIN for the guards as well, expanding employment opportunities and earning power.

AQX certified leaders can be privately insured through Sport and Fitness Insurance Canada. They can also achieve Ontario Fitness Council certification in aqua fitness, giving them nationally and internationally recognized certification status. AQX certification is a great traveling companion!
