About the President

Janice Jaicks is a seasoned water fitness professional and a respected authority in the field of Aquatics. The founder of an expanding twice-per-year fitness convention, Janice is an Aquatics group exercise instructor and Personal Trainer, as well as a nationally-recognized author and presenter.

In 1985, Janice founded Waterworks On Wheels, Inc., an organization which offers backyard swim lessons to the entire East Valley and Ahwatukee areas of Arizona, and provides year-round indoor lessons at three health club facilities. Waterworks also serves hundreds of clients with safe and effective water aerobic exercise at assisted living facilities, apartment complexes, and community pools where homeowner associations provide classes for their residents. Even with Waterworks' growing number of participants, one of Janice's goals is to provide personalized service to the organization's varying clientele.

Waterworks is now famous for its sponsorship of FitnessFest, a multi-discipline fitness convention and expo which was launched in 1998. FitnessFest's nationally-renowned fitness presenters attract group exercise instructors and personal trainers throughout the region, and FitnessFest is now recognized as the largest land and water conferences in the Southwest. The conventions are held annually in Tucson, Arizona every October and in Phoenix, Arizona every April. Janice presents Aqua workshops at each of these events as well as at IDEA, IAFC, SCW MANIAs and the Body Revival conferences.
