You do more than lead a workout
You’re teaching the group and noticing the person new to the water, the student who needs another option, the one ready for a bigger challenge.
You keep asking:
- Is this the best way to teach this exercise?
- What should I change when someone is struggling?
- How can I challenge different abilities in the same class?
What if you could see more in the moves you teach, and know exactly what to change for the people in front of you?
That’s what Wavemakers Pro is for. You learn to notice more, make purposeful adjustments, and coach different abilities without creating a different workout for every person.
“I don’t feel like I’m learning another format. I feel like I’m becoming a better coach.” — Melani, Water Exercise Coach
Good coaching is knowing what to notice and what to change.
Classes that work better for you and your students
Spend less time planning
Use a simple framework to create purposeful workouts without starting from scratch every time.
Personalize progress for every student
Learn how one exercise can become more supportive, more challenging, or simply work better for the person doing it.
The result is a class where newer students feel more supported, experienced students keep progressing, and everyone understands how the movement is working for them.
This is where progress becomes personal.
The Wavemakers Pro experience
Start with fast wins, explore one coaching focus at a time, and go deeper whenever you need more support.
Use practical tools in your next class
Access teaching prompts, full-length workouts, research-based coaching tips, and practical tools you can use right away to simplify planning and help more students get results they can feel.
Build one coaching skill at a time
Each month, explore one coaching focus, try it in your classes, and learn from what you notice. You can also revisit Basic Moves Made Better, Laurie’s foundational course, with guided sessions twice a year.
Get support when you need it

Frequently asked questions
What if my classes have mixed abilities?
That’s exactly what Pro is built for. You’ll learn how to adjust familiar movements for different people without splitting the class or creating a new workout every class you teach.
What if I’m newer to coaching?
You’re welcome here. Pro helps you build confidence by trying what you learn, noticing how small coaching choices change movement, and getting support from mentors and other instructors.
What if I’ve been a Wavemakers Pro before?
You won’t be coming back to the same experience. Pro evolves as new questions, research, and coaching ideas emerge. Each month gives you something new to explore, apply, and reflect on, so your coaching keeps progressing too.
Will Pro give me workouts and class ideas?
Yes. You’ll get full-length workouts, teaching prompts, and practical tools you can use right away. But Pro goes beyond routines. Pro helps you understand how to adapt what you already teach so you can coach with more confidence and personalize progress for the people in front of you.
Wavemakers Pro isn’t about giving you more to do.
It’s about helping you see more, simplify your coaching, and make every exercise matter more.
