“It was absolutely amazing!” 🙌

We caught up with Valerie at the end of an incredible AquaCon Main Event, and we couldn’t have said it better ourselves! 💙

She came ready to move and learn, and left with:
✅ New friends
✅ New ideas
✅ New skills
✅ Great music
✅ An unforgettable day in the water
✅ AND a free lunch! 😋

We love hearing how much fun our aqua community had while learning from such talented instructors.

Thank you, Valerie, for sharing your AquaCon experience! 💦

Feeling prepared, inspired, and ready to grow! 🙌

Katie from the Mesa YMCA joined us for her Aqua Fitness Certification and came back for the AquaCon Main Event with two of her employees!

Her team is excited to expand their water fitness programming, and we love hearing that they’re leaving with more than just new knowledge. From manuals and handouts to playlist suggestions and practical resources they can take back to their organization, AquaCon is designed to help instructors feel confident and ready to put it all into action. 💙

And of course… learning + having a good time = the perfect AquaCon experience! 💦

Thank you, Katie, for sharing your experience with us!

AquaCon 2026!

What an incredible weekend of learning, movement, connection, and FUN in the water! 🏊‍♀️💙

From our Aqua Progressions trainings to an amazing day filled with workshops, new ideas, and inspiring instructors, AquaCon 2026 was truly one to remember.

Thank you to all of our presenters, instructors, and attendees who brought their energy, passion, and love for aqua fitness to the pool. Your enthusiasm made this event so special! 🙌

📸 Take a look back at some of our favorite moments from AquaCon 2026. Can you spot yourself?

Until we meet again in the pool! 💦

What’s in an Aqua Instructor’s Bag? 👜🏊‍♀️

Turns out, it’s A LOT more than just a swimsuit! 😂

From water, sunscreen, towels, and sunglasses to speakers, power banks, class notes, headphones, resistance weights, Band-Aids, and even emergency cookies 🍪… our Aqua instructors come prepared for just about anything!

Because when you’re teaching in the pool, you never know what the day might bring. 😉

And of course, there’s always a little FitnessFest spirit in the bag! 💚

What’s one thing you NEVER leave home without for your aqua class? 👇

Some moments changed the world forever. Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the strength of those who carried on.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸🕊️

What happens when you combine expert education with practical movement in the pool? You leave with tools you can actually use.

At Edith Ball Aquatics Center in Tucson, Arizona, participants joined Donna Lewen’s Aqua Progressions III: Special Populations training—a deep dive into working with people with health considerations.

From arthritis, MS, fibromyalgia, and joint issues to other special populations, Donna brings her years of aquatic fitness expertise to help instructors understand protocols, contraindications, and effective movement strategies in the water.

And we love hearing directly from participants like Jaden, who shared how much he learned and how excited he was to bring some of these movements into his own classes.

Learn it. Practice it. Take it back to your participants.

Join us September 11th at the Chandler/Gilbert YMCA for lecture + pool practical training.

Register today and expand the way you serve your participants.
