Dear _______________,
I wanted to take a moment and reach out to you to tell you a little bit about a professional
organization that I am currently active with. As a fellow aquatic physical therapist you
understand the importance of staying abreast of the latest information and regulatory updates as
well as having access to resources related to best practices and gold standards. Now more than
ever, physical therapy is subject to much scrutiny and is rapidly evolving and changing. That is
what prompted my decision to join the APTA and in turn, join the Aquatic PT Section.
As a member of the Aquatic PT Section I have access to many members’ only benefits that help
me excel in my day to day practice. Here are just a few benefits I receive:

Networking opportunities with other aquatic PTs and PTAs;

Learning the latest aquatic physical therapy research through the Journal of
Aquatic Physical Therapy;

Discount registrations for the Certificate in Aquatic Physical Therapy Clinical
Competency and Section webinars;

Add your Aquatic PT clinic to the Section’s website in the “Find an Aquatic PT
Clinic” online directory, which helps consumers find YOUR business.
While I could go on and on, I think you get my point that you really do get quite a bit of support
and resources for your investment in the only professional organization that supports the aquatic
physical therapy profession.
I hope you will take a moment to read the attached electronic version of the Journal of Aquatic
Physical Therapy and consider becoming an active member of the APTA and the Aquatic PT
Section. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time should you have any questions
about the APTA or the Aquatic PT Section. I would be happy to share my thoughts and personal
experiences with both organizations.
I look forward to speaking with you further and hopefully we will have the opportunity to
connect at an upcoming event!
