Have you had this problem?
You show up to teach your Deep & Delicious aqua fitness class, and several people stay in the shallow end. They won't move to deep water. What do you do?
- Hand them the class brochure and explain where they SHOULD be working?
- Ignore them?
- Move everyone to the shallow end so those fearful of deep water won't be upset or ignored?
This situation has happened to many aqua fitness instructors, including me. Early on, I decided there had to be a solution that offered great customer service, honoured participant preferences, and kept everyone safe and happy.
This course shares my solution with you!
There are numerous benefits to be gained from using the concepts in this course. Here are a few of the best:
- You will become 'Ambi-depth-sterous', and who doesn't want that?! Instructors who can simultaneously cue to both ends of the pool are aqua-magicians. Highly prized and sought after.
- You will optimize participant preferences. No one likes to be ignored. Everyone has their own valid reasons for their preferred pool depth.
- You will be able to accommodate larger class sizes by using all areas of the pool. Considering your impending rise in popularity, this will be necessary!
- You and your aqua fitness participants will benefit from understanding best movement choices in each depth of the pool. You will be a better instructor. Period.
