CALA's Code of Conduct

Thirst is not the only reason you drink water when you are in the pool.

Your body needs to be cooled down, your muscles need water so they can stay lubricated, your body needs water to flush toxins out of your body.

You would not drive a car without oil, why would you drive your body without water?

Have your say in
in the development of
a new pool in Toronto

This video describes the project: https://youtu.be/vevGoMnab94
A draft design for the new Davisville Community and Aquatic Centre has been developed based on community feedback collected in the spring. (At that time I made suggestions about making sure instructors and lifeguards didn’t have sunlight in their eyes blinding them , to provide room on deck for belt and noodle storage and to make showers not so cold so people want to use them
 Click this link to Take the online survey  until July 25, 2021 to explore the draft design and provide your feedback.

Participant Feedback

Hello Katherine,

Thank you very much for being my instructor.  You are very thorough and detailed and at the same time are so encouraging and make it fun.  Learned so much.  It is the little things that count. I am so happy that I passed, you can't even imagine!  Thank you!

I appreciate your comments and happy that you can see how much I love aquafit and the participants.  It is good for my soul and my body!

I have been incorporating some Yoga into my classes already and can't wait to do the course with you!! I hope you have time to enjoy this summer and that your move is just what you dreamed of.  

Warmest regards.   Jo-Anne

There are a number of youtube videos on this topic.

Post COVID-19 Recovery: Implications and Program Adaptations for Aqua Professional
Patricia Benjamin Med.
 Download the full Article
People who have had COVID show signs of debilitating fatigue, that may linger for several weeks and even months post recovery. Although tests no longer indicate they have the virus, most still suffer from symptoms of fatigue, and an intermittent cough for days, weeks, even months afterwards. Even those affected with mild symptoms are surprised by the slow recovery to a “healthy” normal. As Aquatic Professionals we will have many challenges before us, especially in a post Covid-19 pandemic recovery. Working with and coaching those in differing stages of recovery will require informative decision making regarding our programming.   The following are some implications and aquatic adaptations for us to consider when programming, teaching and coaching those clients.

Jane Ohberg, a CALA Certified Members

 A year ago, I never thought that later in the year, I would take part in a virtual choir! Amazing how technology can bring singers together for weekly virtual choir practises … how you can create your own “at home recording area” ….and finally after multiple (!!) attempts, submit a video recording for the tech wizards to bring everyone together!
