Adaptive Aquatic Training Since 2008
The Water Does Not Need Reinvention.
Our Perception Does.
For nearly two decades, AquaFit Sports has explored what becomes possible when water is understood not simply as a place to exercise, but as an experiential environment for movement, strength, recovery, and performance.

A Legacy of Aquatic Adaptation
Meet Stu Davidson—the person in the water. He has trained hundreds of discerning private clients across Miami and now in Sarasota, in pools and open water that each presented their own conditions and challenges.
Every client arrived with different goals and priorities, and every environment required adaptation. Through years of observation, hands-on experience, and working through those differences, Stu developed a deeper understanding of how water can be shaped around the person—for purposeful movement, strength, recovery, performance, and the sense of accomplishment that comes from doing the work.

Science of Water
Water changes the training environment. Buoyancy, resistance, hydrostatic pressure, and movement control help create a flexible setting for fitness, recovery, and performance work.

The Properties
of Water
Water is not a backdrop. It is one of the variables that determines what the training becomes.
Before you even begin to move, the water is already changing the conditions around you. Buoyancy, drag, pressure, and temperature influence what your body feels, how it moves, and what the training can become. This article is the foundational read for understanding why.

Testimonials
What Clients Say
An Excellent Aquatic Therapist
Stuart worked with me in the pool three times a week while I was in Sarasota. He is an excellent aquatic therapist — skilled, knowledgeable, careful, sensitive, caring, and excellent company. He helped me a great deal, and I highly recommend him.
A Difference in Everyday Life
I can't say enough how AquaFit has made a difference in everyday life. The exercises have increased my range of motion and flexibility and made it so much easier to deal with my arthritic hip. Highly recommend.
So Much More Than a Great Workout
We're an eclectic group of women — from a young mother who recently gave birth to twins to women in their eighth decade — and when we enter the water, we become one. We started in February 2018 once a week, and here we are in August 2019 meeting twice a week, with some of us doing it three or four times a week if possible. No matter what the week has brought, we're all there for each other and feel the healing begin the moment we start to move our bodies. At the end of a session, the increased energy and mental calm are palpable. Stuart really “gets” us and always knows exactly what we need. He is the best!
