​​If your facility already uses AQX leadership training, we hope you’ll continue to do so. Our 40-hour AQX certification course is proudly Canadian and recognized as world-class.

Over the years, we’ve seen aqua fitness leadership training become something of the neglected child of the fitness industry. It often falls into an awkward grey area—neither clearly “pool” nor clearly “fitness.”
​
As a result, lifeguards are frequently asked to teach aqua fitness classes with little or no training. Many don’t enjoy the experience, and participants can feel the difference.

We understand that budgets are tight and not everyone has the desire to become certified or pursue aqua fitness leadership as a career.
​
For facilities with seasonal programming, very small teams, or limited budgets, we now offer a flexible alternative: two-part training, with the option to get certified.

Level 1: Aqua Fitness Fundamentals equips prospective leaders with foundational leadership skills through a short online preparation course followed by one day of hands-on skills training. While this is not certification, it provides a strong foundation in best practices for teaching aqua fitness.

Learners will complete this training with a class plan and the confidence to begin practice teaching.

When leaders are ready to advance, Level 2 training builds on the Level 1 foundation with the full online leadership course and two full days of practical skills training.

Level 2 is excellent preparation for practical skills assessment and AQX certification.
