About

Even while working full time at an adverting company, Catalina Diaz looked forward to her part time job: teaching swim lessons and aqua classes at a neighborhood YMCA. Teaching appealed to her more than staying in the office. As her confidence grew, she realized how much she loved the water and left the corporate world in 2008. Catalina never looked back. As a teacher – and student - Catalina vows to stay in the forefront, taking workshops to learn new ideas in the water fitness world to keep her classes fresh and innovative. Her passion is to inspire others to do their personal best to stay fit and healthy while having fun doing it.
