DEERFIELD, IL—April 23, 2021—When the pandemic began over a year ago and facilities faced long-term closures, aquatic exercise experienced exponential growth in popularity, due to pools being the safest exercise environments. Substantiated by the Centers for Disease Control, no scientific evidence existed reporting the spread of COVID-19 through pools, hot tubs, or among other chemically treated aquatic venues. Guidelines for safe aquatic practices, including social distancing (about the length of a pool noodle), use of face masks (except in the water), increased ventilation and the regular cleaning/disinfecting of equipment and supplies, along with the use of chlorine and bromine, were implemented to ensure safety and maintain the integrity of the aquatic environment.
As facility restrictions begin to relax and pools begin to reopen, aquatic exercise instructors and innovative programming are in high demand. SCW Fitness Education, the leading provider of continuing fitness education known for MANIA Fitness Conferences, is excited to announce the launch of the industry’s first aquatic specialty convention, Aqua Exercise Summit.
“We are thrilled to offer our first aquatic specialty convention. This has been over 30 years in the making,” exclaimed Sara Kooperman, CEO of SCW Fitness Education. “SCW has been offering aquatic certifications and programming for decades and are bursting to offer this magnificent and intense full day convention. Innovative, educational and easily applicable workshops make this virtual conference an absolute treasure!”
