Intro
Aquatic fitness is very different from exercising on land and having the skills to teach classes in a pool can make you an in-demand instructor. Group exercise continues to grow in popularity and taking this activity away from the gym floor provides an exciting change of pace for those you teach. Our Level 2 Aqua Instructor course teaches you everything you need to know about planning and teaching effective exercise in water. You’ll also discover how water affects the body, and various techniques for teaching cardiovascular and muscular strength exercises.
The course is certified by YMCA Awards (formerly CYQ) and we deliver it with a mix of distance learning and practical sessions. This ensures you’ll have plenty of time to master the technical aspects of the course before you undertake your final assessment and teach a planned exercise session.
This qualification is very flexible in its use and provides the opportunity for fitness instructors, exercise to music teachers, and personal trainers to expand on their repertoire. It can also be used as evidence of continuing professional development (CPD). If you’d like to know more about how this qualification can be used to further your development as an exercise professional, our dedicated careers team will be able to give you all the advice you need.
Course content
The course is designed to teach you everything you need to know to be an aqua instructor. Theory and practical elements are covered in an interactive and engaging way and on the course you can expect to learn:
- Cardiovascular/flexibility training and exercises in water
- Muscular strength and endurance (MSE) training and exercises in water
- Principles and benefits of water-based exercise
- Designing safe and effective aqua exercise sessions
- Using music effectively in water-based exercise sessions
Assessment
Throughout you’ll be tested in a range of practical and theoretical ways. They include:
- Worksheets – including health and safety, and supporting and managing clients
- Multiple choice theory exams
- Lesson plan – demonstrate your knowledge and skills by effectively planning an aqua exercise session
- Practical assessment – use everything you’ve learned on the course to deliver a planned exercise session to your fellow students
Prerequisites
There are no formal prerequisites for this course, but we do recommend that you already hold a Level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification. Experience of participating in water-based exercise sessions will also be incredibly useful.
If you don’t already have a fitness instructor qualification, you will need to complete the anatomy and physiology, and the principles of exercise and fitness modules, in addition to the above assessments. This incurs a cost of £100.

2018-05-15Thank you HFE for your great service and support. I hadn't stepped foot in a classroom in over 14 years and felt a bit like fish out of water, but the help, advice and encouragement from your amazing tutors really gave me the confidence boost I needed.

Distance learning with excellent tutor support
2014-11-05I wanted a distance learning option for my qualification as I had to fit my study in around work and family commitments. Course materials arrived quickly, the online system was all set up and ready to go so I could get started immediately, and my tutor was in contact a couple of times in the first few days to make sure I had everything I needed.
