Candidate Feedback

The series of Aquatic Fitness training modules launched in September 2007 is proving extremely popular - pool operators are keen to add this exciting range of new activities to their leisure programme by providing their dryside gym instructors with the knowledge to cross over to the pool for water based fitness activity. 

Course feedback has been very positive - here we provide a selection of comments from candidates:

 “I'm not bothering with the gym any more, I'm getting my guys and me in the water from now on!” 

'I liked the practical sessions and learnt a lot from them, both by being a participant and an 'instructor'.  As a tutor I thought that you remained enthusiastic, encouraging and positive throughout.  The feedback you gave us was constructive and valid.  I enjoyed the course and it has given me more confidence in a group teaching situation.'

'The feedback from the group was very positive, and we all believe this could be as big if not bigger than the ‘step’ or ‘spin’ of the fitness & exercise world.'

'It was nice to have such an approachable teacher and I felt able to ask you about any queries I had with ease... I am looking forward to using the information gathered from the course to set up my own aqua circuit classes in the near future.'

'On the whole the course was very enjoyable, I have been teaching jogging for a good few months now, my clients really enjoy it and seem to get lots out of it, so it was well worth doing.'

'Thank you for delivering an excellent aqua circuits course for our team, the feedback we had from the staff was great and they all really enjoyed all aspects of the course (even the assessment!)'

'I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the delivery was excellent and fun... overall it was a well prepared and enjoyable course.'

'Thanks for the course. I really enjoyed it. It was nice to learn in a relaxed informal atmosphere for a change.'

'Regarding the course, from my point of view I felt that it was well structured and organised. The fact that we had the manual in advance meant that we could do some pre-reading if we chose to. I felt that we were allowed to ask as many questions as we needed to, without being made to feel silly.' 

'I really enjoyed the course, I am now more confident in teaching adults a fitness class rather than just a basic swimming lesson, it has given me more knowledge about using the new equipment and in starting up a class.'

'I felt I had all the knowledge I needed for the practical assessment and was made aware of what was required. Information was given clearly and not left until we understood the meaning which was great. The setting of the course was fine, and everything we needed was available.'
