The practical exam involves 5 case studies. This may take a lot of time, however, the process will help you as an Aquatic Personal Trainer become efficient and proficient. We recommend that you use yourself as your first practical case study. You may also utilize volunteers or friends and family as your other case studies.

Based on their health history, goals and water assessments, you will create 3 program cards for your clients ( week 1, 4, & 8). The goal of the program cards are to provide quick reference for exercise progression or to help your client improve their performance and fitness. Your program card should reflect how the person did on their water assessment, what you are training as well as some techniques or exercises to motivate or achieve adherence to a program. Additionally, you create a counselling agreement and short business plan - to succeed with your new business.
One of your program cards needs to be video taped or put on a DVD so that we may see your practical training skills.
