Aquatics and water exercise is great fun, and the safety of each participant very important. At Fitpro, we believe in Quality education, highly skilled instructors and the delivery of excellent exercise.
Here are some questions to ask to ensure your Aquatics Instructor is top-notch, Fitpro style!
- Does he/she have a recognized qualification? Yes, it is ok to ask your Instructor where he/she studied or what experience they have.
2. Is he/she CPR/AED certified with basic water skills? This is a health and safety requirement for any facility offering water-based exercise.
3. Is your instructor dressed to jump into the pool at any given time – to save a life, to explain a movement? This is water exercise after-all 🙂
4. Can the instructor clearly show and explain the movements to be done in the pool with the assistance of a chair outside the pool?
5. Is the session structured according to the population in the pool? Can the instructor accommodate different populations at the same time? Aqua is not only geared for the elderly or special populations; athletes, all ages and rehabilitation can be conditioned in the water!
6. In the case of music being used, is the tempo, pitch and volume appropriate?
7. Can you hear your instructors voice clearly from any side of the pool?
8. Does the instructor use intensity regulation – S.W.E.A.T.? In other words, is your intensity progressive and monitored?
9. Does the instructor vary the daily/weekly training programs to avoid boredom and lack of progress?
10. Does your instructor put YOU first during the time you spend with him/her?
Should you have extra questions – feel free to ask us! We will answer them for you.
