Customized Aquatic Seminars
Bringing the world of aquatic therapy to your home pool

Can't make it to one of our regional seminars? Or, perhaps you want to train your staff in your own pool? Aquaticnet.com custom seminars are a great way to learn aquatic techniques that will be applicable to your unique caseload mix.

Did you know if you have at least 3-4 therapists who need training, it can actually be cheaper to bring the "seminar" to you?

Email us to book your custom training.

Why customize?

Price: Our custom seminars are $1500 per day, minimum 2 days. Additional expenses include, but not limited to, air fare or mileage, parking, accommodations, per diem.

Bring us in for a 2-day seminar and you will often end up spending less than you would sending 3-4 staffers away. In fact, many facilities advertise to outside clinicians to make a profit out of hosting a seminar.

Host a 2-day seminar, bring in 7-10 paying clinicians, and you will have trained your whole staff for free! Bring in more outside registrants, and you will make a profit while training your staff.

Convenience: Our seminars occur in your own clinic, using your own pool. You won't lose therapist productivity due to days of travel time and you can even schedule the course so that you have no downtime in your clinic schedule.

For instance, many clinics start their custom seminar at 3 PM on Friday. The schedule runs Friday 3-8 and Saturday 8-6. You receive the same number of contact hours as a typical 2-day course (14 hours), but you keep the clinic available for patients all day on Friday.

Applicability: Have you ever suffered the disappointment of attending an aquatic training with a fantastic instructor, only to discover that almost nothing you learn is applicable to your caseload? Aquaticnet.com seminars are created by you, for you. You decide what you want to learn.

Aquaticnet.com instructors take into account the temperature, depth, and entry methods of your pool, and combine that with knowledge of your most prevalent patient diagnoses. The result? A custom aquatic therapy seminar that is immediately applicable to your clinical needs.

What Can Be Covered in a Custom Seminar?
A custom seminar can be comprised of both lecture and pool time and can include:

• Ai Chi
  Aquatic PNF
  Bad Ragaz Ring Method
  Cardiac Rehab
  Circuit Training
  Task-Type Training Approach
  Watsu

Can We Obtain CEU (Continuing Education Unit) Credit for a Custom Seminar?

Definitely. Each state and every profession handles CEUs differently. First, if you are an athletic trainer, we've got you covered. Aquaticnet.com is a BOC-accredited provider of CEUs for athletic trainers.

For other professionals, i n order to "cover all the bases" Aquaticnet.com will issue certificates of attendance to each attendee (these certificates attest to the total number of contact hours provided). In some states, these certificates are all you need to obtain CEUs.

In other states, you must convert these certificates to CEUs. In those states, Aquaticnet.com can help you complete the paperwork necessary to convert your contact hours to continuing education units. Any fees incurred are the responsibility of the host facility, but Aquaticnet.com will make sure any conversion goes smoothly.

Can I See a Sample Schedule and Learning Objectives for a "Typical" Custom Seminar?

Certainly. Every facility wants its course to run a little differently, but here is a "typical" course schedule.

For more information on how to schedule your own custom seminar, email info@aquaticnet.com or call us direct at (715) 248-7258. Your staff will be delighted for the at-home training option!
