Course Planning...
The best way to have a course near you is for you to organize a course in your pool!
The CARI Team will come to you and your community, tailoring the course content to your needs.
Does your Rehab hospital have a pool? When was the last time the staff received training in aquatic therapy and optimizing pool use? Open your course to external therapists and cover your incurred costs.
Not in a hospital?... Does your community have a warm pool? Will they host an Aquatic Therapy course for community therapists? The mandate of a 'Community' Pool must serve ALL the community! This includes those unable to access the pool without assistance. Be the Bridge and enable your clients, providing one-on-one session to then transition them to the community aquatic programs or 'Open Quiet/Therapy Times' in their local pool. Quality of Life is directly correlated with Physical Activity!
