West Virginia University is the home of the only Aquatic Therapy Emphasis in the nation.  The Aquatic Therapy Emphasis is an optional track offered to Exercise Physiology students and consists of 3 courses and an internship.  The courses utilizes both lecture and pool-laboratory sessions to provide students with a well-rounded aquatic knowledge base.  Aquatic fitness, therapy, and facility management are the cornerstones to this emphasis.

These infographics are contributions from the students in these courses studying with Dr. Lori Sherlock, who is actively involved with various AEA projects and was the 2015 recipient of the Aquatic Fitness Professional Global Award.
