What’s in store?

Heart Pumping H20

As an aqua instructor, you know the power of water-based training, but keeping heart rates elevated while allowing for effective recovery takes strategy. This equipment-free masterclass will expand your movement repertoire with choreography designed to maximise cardiovascular intensity while maintaining class flow.

You’ll explore:

• How to use turbulence and resistance to drive energy expenditure.
• The role of jumping, standing, and seated positions in managing intensity and stability.
• Arm actions that significantly impact heart rate and overall effort.
• How to adapt movements on the fly to meet different participant needs, fitness levels, and abilities.

This session will give you fresh choreography ideas and practical strategies to fine-tune intensity, challenge participants, and keep them moving with purpose and energy from start to finish.

Wet Force

This dynamic masterclass explores the full potential of dumbbells and noodles as resistance, turbulence, and buoyancy tools—without a buoyancy belt.

This session goes beyond traditional deep water exercises, showing how these simple tools can challenge core stability, muscle strength, and movement control in a way that engages every muscle group. Learn how to:

Use turbulence to enhance intensity – Create an environment where participants must stabilise against the forces of water movement, engaging core muscles more effectively.

Maximise buoyancy for strength and conditioning – Explore how positioning dumbbells and noodles at different depths affects muscle activation, speed, and endurance.
Incorporate varied tempos and movement patterns – Keep classes dynamic and engaging with creative exercise combinations.

This session will provide practical, ready-to-use programming ideas to keep you and your participants motivated.

Comebacks from Setbacks

Great instructors don’t just react—they adapt. Whether it’s a tech failure, missing equipment, or a last-minute class change, knowing how to adjust quickly keeps your sessions running smoothly. But setbacks aren’t just about logistics—they also come in the form of diverse participant needs, unexpected injuries, or varying abilities. This session equips you with real-time strategies to modify movements, adjust cueing, and tailor intensity so every participant feels included, engaged, and challenged at the right level. Walk away with practical solutions to handle anything with confidence—turning obstacles into comebacks and setbacks into opportunities to showcase your adaptability, earn participant loyalty, and leave a lasting impact.
