Manuela Ragnoli

Manuela began swimming competitively at a young age, combining it with other sports such as artistic gymnastics, ballet, and modern dance.

At the age of 18, she began her career as a swimming instructor for children and adults, and at 21, she began exploring the world of aquatic fitness.

Her passion for water and dedication to the sport drove her to delve deeper into aquatic fitness. Traveling the world and taking inspiration from leading instructors, she learned the best methods for teaching this discipline.

After completing a degree in humanities, to further her professional career, she also earned a degree in physical education. She has collaborated with FIN (Italian Swimming Federation) and the National S.I.T. (Technical Education Sector) as a teacher and presenter.

In 2018, she moved to Miami, USA, where she will conduct technical training for Hydrorider USA. Over the years, she has been invited to present her work at the most prestigious national and international conventions and training schools.

In Rome, she currently works as a Product Manager at Virgin Active clubs, having worked for 10 years as a Group Trainer in musical and functional disciplines on land and in the water. She also serves as a Water Sector Specialist in Virgin Active's Exercise Experience department.
