    Aquatic therapy

    Hello.
    I am a COTA/L in Pennsylvania and I would like to add aquatic therapy to
    my skills set.  What continuing education or additional training would
    you recommend that I seek?
    Along with being a COTA, I am a certified aquatic fitness instructor, working mostly with elderly people post therapy.  My classes include Ai Chi and arthritis.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello, I'm a COTA in Oregon also interested in Aquatic Therapy.  Have you had any promising responses to your inquiry?  I've found in my travels that PTs are primarily the aquatic therapists and are reluctant to have COTAs in the pool.  I started taking classes through the ATRI but found it would take years to get through it all.  Thank you for your response.
