Who we are

Leaders in Aquafitness Certification in Canada

CALA was founded in 1993 by Charlene Kopansky. For the past 32 years, CALA has been offering comprehensive aqua fitness education across Canada. Our clinics, workshops and courses have been attended by thousands of instructors and aqua fitness enthusiasts.

Now in 2026, CALA looks to the future, growing upon what Charlene created by embodying the philosophy that the magical properties of water provide an amazing environment for a complete full body workout.

CALA remains a Canadian owned and operated business and has affiliate relationships with canfitpro, BCRPA, AFLCA, CFES, SPRA, OFC, YMCA, NBFA and the NSFA.
