If you enjoy helping people stay active, love the energy of group exercise, and know how to create a class where participants feel both challenged and successful, we would love to hear from you.
At CBRC, our core purpose is building a community and inspiring healthier lives. Our Water Aerobics Instructors bring that purpose to life by providing safe, effective, and enjoyable classes that help members improve their strength, cardiovascular fitness, mobility, and overall well-being—all in a supportive group environment.
The Role
As a Water Aerobics Instructor, you will lead engaging aquatic fitness classes for a diverse member population with varying fitness levels and abilities.
Our instructors do more than lead exercises. They create energy, build relationships with participants, provide appropriate modifications, and make each class an experience members look forward to attending.
This is a part-time position, with morning and weekend class opportunities available.

What We’re Looking For
The ideal Water Aerobics Instructor combines fitness knowledge with enthusiasm and an ability to connect with people.
You understand that participants come to class with different goals and abilities. You can create an environment where members feel comfortable participating at their own level while still receiving a safe, effective, and motivating workout.
Strong candidates will bring:
- A nationally recognized Aquatics or Aquatic Fitness Instructor certification, such as AEA, AFAA, or an equivalent recognized certification.
- Two to five years of water aerobics or group fitness teaching experience is preferred.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- The confidence and energy to lead and motivate a group.
- The ability to work effectively with members of varying ages, abilities, and fitness levels.
- Knowledge of safe and effective aquatic exercise techniques.
- A positive, encouraging, and welcoming approach to working with members.
