WaterART Fitness International specializes in education for instructors, personal trainers, health care providers and consumers. We offer both land and water fitness programs either via onsite/live training or home study/correspondence education.
WaterART is an acronym for understanding how to design purposeful programs. We believe that the Application of Science is an Art.
Our programs will take you through a system that helps you to understand the differences between
1) land fitness and WaterART Fitness,
2) swimming and WaterART Fitness,
3) traditional aquacize and WaterART Fitness.
We believe that programming must be safe, effective and enjoyable. Whether teaching on land or in the water, a leader must design programs that will help the individual participant gain results whether in a group or training individually.

Our
goal is to help educate both the professional & consumer to better

safe, effective & enjoyable. We do not perform choreography nor canned routines. We provide a system of how to monitor and regulate intensity so that the
individual may perform at their personal best or with a self paced exercise
system. Our mission is to help create a better understanding that
programming in water is unique as compared to land programming and/or swimming and
life guarding. Becoming Certified provides an opportunity to purchase

WaterART is are always progressing and developing our resources for fitness professionals through research and ongoing education. Fitness is a time of great opportunity and challenge. More participants are coming to programs with specialized or individualized medical conditions. WaterART advocates self paced exercise (not choreographed routines) so that individuals may achieve their personal best whether training on land and/or in water. The instructor or trainer must understand how to work with a variety of health histories, skills as well as fitness goals. Achieving many levels of Certification is a way of validating the competencies of a Instructor or Trainer.
The Certifications combine both theory exam as well as a practical skills in the certification process which provides a balanced background for education. With WaterART Fitness, professionals must earn their qualifications or Certification(s). There is no option to transfer from other certification organizations.
