Friends of Fitness

 

Please help us welcome our newest aqua personal trainer, Hayden Smith, to the fitness team! 

 

“For the last 20 years, I have been a boat captain and fishing guide. My passion, for as long as I can remember, has always been with water. After retiring from my previous career to be with my family, I found myself not knowing what path would bring me as much joy and passion as my previous career, so I began trying out many things. I decided to try teaching swimming lessons to toddlers and special needs children. Right away, I decided that aquatics instruction training was going to be my next adventure in life. I am excited every day to bring aquatics knowledge and benefits to everyone I meet.”

 

To book an aquatics training session with Hayden, call (737) 215-2043.
