This 9 hour, self-paced online introductory aquatic therapy course is designed for physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and athletic trainers.

This course provides comprehensive instruction in the Aquatic Therapy Institute’s seven core competency domains.
