Some action shots of my time with the awesome students from Pine Rivers High 😍

Massive shout-out to Pine Rivers High 👏💦

For the past two weeks, I’ve had the absolute privilege of being invited in to run an aqua fitness session for the senior Rec students — and I’m genuinely honoured they chose me for it. The best part? The enthusiasm from these students was awesome. They showed up ready to move, have a laugh, and give it a real crack!

And can we please talk about the stereotype for a second…

Aqua fitness still gets labelled as “just for older people.”
That’s a myth. ✅

Water training is for anyone, because it challenges strength, cardio, coordination, and control in a totally different way. You can work hard without the same impact on joints, and that constant resistance from the water means you’re switched on the whole time. (And yep… you can absolutely get a serious calorie-burning workout in the pool. 🥵)

But here’s what really hit me…

Watching these younger bodies move in the water gave me a whole new appreciation for the regulars who show up week after week and work their butts off. Honestly? Some of you outdo the younger generation, with grit, consistency, and the way you keep going when it gets tough.

Bravo, you legends. 👏👏👏

To the students — thank you for bringing the vibe and giving everything a go.

To the teachers — thank you for supporting them and making opportunities like this happen.

Pine Rivers High, you’re a credit to yourselves and your school community.

Spread the word, kids. Water workouts are the real deal. 💪💦😄

As the year wraps up, I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined me in the water or on land this year.

Your commitment, your smiles, and your effort on the days it felt hard. l am incredibly lucky to move, laugh, work hard and share this space with you all.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, good health, rest, and time with the people who matter most. Thank you for being part of my year, I truly appreciate each and every one of you 💙 🎉🎄💦

✨ Still buzzing from an incredible weekend at the Aqua Summit! ✨

I feel so grateful to be part of this passionate aqua fitness community — not just as an attendee, but as part of the event crew behind the scenes. There’s something special about spending a weekend surrounded by people who get it… people who live and breathe the joy, science and impact of moving in water.

But the absolute highlight for me?
Being in the pool, shoulder-to-shoulder with instructors from all over, learning new ideas, challenging myself, and feeling that electric energy only practical water sessions can bring. Every time I’m reminded — aqua fitness is so much more than exercise. It’s strength without pain. It’s joy without pressure. It’s movement that heals bodies and builds confidence at every age.

💧 But here’s the truth:
It’s not just up to instructors to spread the word.
It’s up to all of us.

If aqua fitness has improved your life — physically, mentally or socially — tell someone. Bring a friend. Invite a family member. Share your story.

Because until more people experience the benefits, the wider fitness industry will continue to underestimate the power of water.

And if you already love aqua classes?

👉 Why not become an instructor yourself?
We desperately need more passionate leaders in this space — more voices, more cheerleaders, more educators who can keep this movement growing.

My heart is full, my muscles are glowing, and my mission is clear:
Keep making noise for aqua fitness.
It deserves centre stage.

A must read for all! You know I love to train the most important muscle 🧠, through learning different movement patterns with choreography or my latest dual task hand patterns 😍 But this is why it’s a must to get out of the comfort zone and lift your heart rate ❤️‍🔥

Still buzzing after an incredible 3 in 1 Day LIVE Aqua Workshop with the legend herself, Marietta Mehanni.

It took some effort to bring her to Queensland—and wow, was it worth it. We were blessed with beautiful weather, but even if it hadn’t cooperated, the energy in the pool and the wisdom shared in the lectures would’ve been more than enough to recharge my passion for what I love to do.

Three sessions in the water, expert guidance, and plenty of those “this is tougher than it looks” moments… but also that unbeatable feeling of moving freely and powerfully in the water.

Grateful for this day. Grateful to know and learn from someone who continues to lift the standard in our industry.

Aqua fitness is no joke—but it’s the best kind of hard. Thanks for having us Lawnton Aquatic Centre 🙏💝

💙 Cheers to 2025! 💙

May your year ahead be filled with health, happiness, and plenty of moments that make you smile. 😀

🎄 Merry Christmas🎄

I want to thank everyone for being part of my little community. Your support, laughter, and energy make every class and connection special.

Over the holidays I hope you take time to relax, enjoy the company of loved ones, and reflect on the amazing moments you've had this year.

From me to you, I wish you a Christmas filled with joy, love, and plenty of good cheer. Here’s to an exciting year ahead! 🩵🩷💜

This weekend, even though I’m out of action on pool deck, I’m still working behind the scenes at this weekends Aqua Forum and Summit, soaking up all the latest in aqua fitness! 💧 My heart is overflowing, and I’m so grateful to be part of this incredible community – Thane you Aqua Alliance 😍🙌

When I’m back (and yes, I will be back!) I’ll be bringing everything I’ve learned to make our sessions even better. Can’t wait to reconnect with you all in the water! 💙

A rainbow of colours for our first Spring class! Great to see some new faces and the winter hibernaters come back to join us 💦💙💚💛🩷
